Conclusions
stroke, upper limb motor impairments
STROKE
MIT could help decrease the compensatory activation at both hemispheres and reshape the FC within the ipsilesional hemisphere along with functional recovery in stroke patients.The neural mechanism of motor imagery training in stroke patients with moderate to severe upper limb motor impairments was investigated using task‐based fMRI. The results revealed that motor imagery training during motor recovery decreased overaction at both hemispheres and reorganized the motor network within the ipsilesional hemisphere.
