Modulation of interhemispheric activation balance in motor-related areas of stroke patients with motor recovery: Systematic review and meta-analysis of fMRI studies

摘要

Background: Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) studies suggest that stroke-induced motor deficits are associated with an interhemispheric imbalance of motor activation. This meta-analysis aims to determine the changes of interhemispheric activation balance (IHAB) in motor-related cortices along with post-stroke motor recovery.
