Abstract
ABSTRACT
Stroke is a cerebrovascular disease that impairs blood supply to localized brain tissue regions due to various causes. This leads to ischemic and hypoxic lesions, necrosis of the brain tissue, and a variety of functional disorders. Abnormal cortical activation and functional connectivity occur in the brain after a stroke, but the activation patterns and functional reorganization are not well understood. Rehabilitation interventions can enhance functional recovery in stroke patients. However, clinicians require objective measures to support their practice, as outcome measures for functional recovery are based on scale scores. Furthermore, the most effective rehabilitation measures for treating patients are yet to be investigated. Functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) is a non-invasive neuroimaging method that detects changes in cerebral hemodynamics during task performance. It is widely used in neurological research and clinical practice due to its safety, portability, high motion tolerance, and low cost. This paper briefly introduces the imaging principle and the advantages and disadvantages of fNIRS to summarize the application of fNIRS in post-stroke rehabilitation.
