A systematic review of the usefulness of magnetic resonance imaging in predicting the gait ability of stroke patients

Abstract The usefulness of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in predicting gait ability in stroke patients remains unclear. Therefore, MRI evaluations have not yet been standardized in stroke rehabilitation. We performed a systematic review to consolidate evidence regarding the use of MRIs in predict...
