Associations Between Injury of the Parieto-Insular Vestibular Cortex and Changes in Motor Function According to the Recovery Process: Use of Diffusion Tensor Imaging

Background and Purpose: Parieto-insular vestibular cortex (PIVC) injury can cause symptoms such as abnormal gait and affects the integration and processing of sensory inputs contributing to self-motion perception. Therefore, this study investigated the association of the vestibular pathway in the ga...

Therefore, this study investigated the association of the vestibular pathway in the gait and motor function recovery process in patients with PIVC injury using diffusion tensor imaging (DTI).Methods: We recruited 28 patients with stroke with only PIVC injury and reconstructed the PIVC using a 1.5-T scanner for DTI. Fractional anisotropy (FA), mean diffusivity (MD), and tract volume were measured. The functional ambulatory category (FAC) test was conducted, and motricity index (MI) score was determined. These were conducted and determined at the start (phase 1), end of rehabilitation (phase 2), and during the follow-up 6 months after onset.Results: Although the tract volume of PIVC showed a decrease in subgroup A, all of DTI parameters were not different between two subgroups in affected side (p > 0.05). The results of MI and FAC were significantly different according to the recovery process (p < 0.05). In addition, FA of the PIVC showed a positive correlation with FAC in phase 2 of the recovery process on the affected side. On the unaffected side, FA of the PIVC showed a significant negative correlation with MI in all processes (p < 0.05).Conclusion: The degree of projection pathways to PIVC injury at onset time seems to be related to early restoration of gait function. Moreover, we believe that early detection of the projection pathway for PIVC injury using DTI would be helpful in the clinical evaluation and prediction of the prognosis of patients with PIVC injury.Seo Yoon ParkSang Seok YeoSung Ho JangIn Hee ChoSeunghue OhFrontiers Media S.A.articlevestibular compensationparieto-insular vestibular cortex (PIVC)diffusion tensor imaging-fiber tractographymotor function recoverycontinuityNeurology.
