Abstract
The purpose of this paper is to investigate the contribution of 3.0 T (tesla) functional magnetic resonance imaging (3T-fMRI) to analysis of effecti veness of various approaches to stroke rehabilitation. Using fMRI, we observed the activation of brain structures in response to stimulation to the right hand by Kwahira method that is intensive exercise therapy.
