The paper evaluates the proportional recovery rule (PRR) as a model for motor impairment recovery post-stroke, finding support for its biological relevance and introducing statistical methods to assess recovery models.

This study finds no evidence of cortical reorganization after stroke using resting-state fMRI despite behavioral recovery.

The paper analyzes mirror movements in stroke patients to assess contributions from cortical and subcortical pathways to hand recovery.

This study tracks recovery of hand function after stroke, finding that strength and finger control recover differently, with individuation improving beyond a strength threshold due to CST-dependent mechanisms.
