Motor outcomes after stroke relate to corticospinal tract (CST) damage. The brain leverages surviving neural pathways to compensate for CST damage and mediate motor recovery. Thus, concurrent age-related damage from white matter hyperintensities (WMHs) might affect neurologic capacity for recovery after CST injury. The role of WMHs in post-stroke motor outcomes is unclear. In this study, we evaluated whether WMHs modulate the relationship between CST damage and post-stroke motor outcomes.
