Abstract :
To investigate the contribution of 3.0 T functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) to analysis of effectiveness of various approaches to stroke rehabilitation, we explored brain activations by passive hand movements and subjects intention based on the repetitive facilitation exercises (RFEs) shown by KKawahira.
