Abstract

BACKGROUND: Hand dysfunction significantly affects independence after stroke, with outcomes varying across individuals. Exploring biomarkers associated with the paretic hand can improve the prognosis and guide personalized rehabilitation. However, whether biomarkers derived from resting-state fMRI (rs-fMRI) can effectively classify and predict different hand outcomes and their biological mechanisms remain unclear.
