Figure 6: Physiological recovery mechanism of hemiparesis.
Non-affected side motor related area facilitation induce the hemiparesis improvement at acute recovery phase [41]. Non-affected side motor related area cortex activity decreased at half and one year after stroke onset [42]. Finally affected side motor related area cortex activity increase is important for recovery. (SMA; supplementary motor area, PM; premotor area, M1; primary motor area)
