After the treatment, the motor function test scores of FMA and WMFT improved significantly. The LI during movements of the affected hand increased significantly, suggesting changes in the activation balance within the primary motor, primary lesioned hemisphere. Moreover, the LI changes in the aforementioned areas significantly correlated with gains in the WMFT.
