The patient group, who had the axons did not go through the infarct lesion or had no change in axonal signals, were higher at the rate of better motor function recovery after three months than the other groups (respective rates were 39, 3% and 25%); the axons group, which stayed completely inside the infarct lesion or had remarkably decreased signal, was very poor at the rate of recovery (respective rates were 32, 1% and 39, 3%), p<0, 05.
