Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Correlation coefficient between strength of connection and the Fugl-Meyer Assessment scoreThrough study completion, an average of 1 year

Strength of connection is obtained by calculating a correlation coefficient between time courses of both regions in fMRI data.

Correlation coefficient between the FA value of a tract and the Fugl-Meyer Assessment scoreThrough study completion, an average of 1 year

FA value is obtained by assessing a diffusion anisotropy of a specific tract in DTI data.
