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...

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 patients who underwent diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) two weeks after the stroke onset and motor function assessments two weeks and three months after the stroke onset were included in this study. To obtain the CST and CCT integrity, the functional anisotropy (FA) values of both tracts were extracted from the DTI data. Linear regression was used to identify the relationship and predictive accuracy. The CST FA data had predictive values, but CCT FA did not.
