Relationship between the Corticospinal and Corticocerebellar Tracts and Their Role in Upper Extremity Motor Recovery in Stroke Patients

The corticospinal tract (CST) and corticocerebellar tract (CCT) are both involved in the upper extremity (UE) function after stroke. Understanding the relationship between the tracts and their functions can contribute to developing patient-specific rehabilitative strategies. Seventy ischemic stroke...
