Why the study?
Cortical reorganization associated with task-oriented training for stroke remains to be fully elucidated due to the lack of dynamic assessment tools.

fNIRS feasible for real-time cortical monitoring in stroke rehab; leaves open differential reorganization by task-oriented versus cyclic training.
Does task-oriented training of the upper limb improve cortical activation and connectivity in subacute stroke patients?
Task-oriented training of the upper limb in subacute stroke patients induces widespread bilateral cortical activation and enhances prefrontal-motor connectivity compared to cyclic rotary training.
