Table 1 Diffusion tensor tractography studies on the neural tracts related to limb-kinetic apraxia in stroke patients.
| Authors | Publication year | Number of patients | Pathology of brain injury | Analyzed neural tracts | DTT analysis method | Combined study |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Hong et al | 2012 | 1 | Cerebral infarct | CST, CFT | Configuration | TMS |
| Jang SH | 2013 | 1 | ICH | CST | Configuration | TMS |
| Jang et al | 2016 | 1 | Cerebral infarct | CST, CFT | Configuration | |
| Jang and Seo | 2016 | 20 | Cerebral infarct | CST, CFT | DTT Parameters (fractional anisotropy, tract volume) | TMS |
| Jang and Byun | 2022 | 1 | ICH | CST, CFT | Configuration | |
| DTT – diffusion tensor tractography; CST – corticospinal tract; CFT – corticofugal tract; TMS – transcranial magnetic stimulation; ICH – intracerebral hemorrhage; CRT – corticoreticulospinal tract. | ||||||
