摘要 |
Robot-assisted bilateral arm therapy (RBAT) has shown
promising results in stroke rehabilitation; however, connectivity mapping of
the sensorimotor networks after RBAT remains unclear. We used fMRI before and
after RBAT and a dose-matched control intervention (DMCI) to explore the connectivity
changes in 6 subacute stroke patients. Sensorimotor functions improved in the
RBAT and DMCI groups after treatment. Enhanced activation changes were
observed in bilateral primary motor cortex and bilateral supplementary motor
area after RBAT. Dynamic causal model analysis revealed that interhemispheric
connections were enhanced in RBAT patients. These preliminary findings suggest
that intracortical and intercortical coupling might underlie poststroke RBAT. |
