Recovery from hemiparesis after stroke has been shown to involve reorganization in motor and premotor cortical areas. However, whether poststroke recovery also depends on changes in remote brain structures, ie, diaschisis, is as yet unresolved. To address this question, we studied regional cerebral blood flow in 7 patients (mean+/-SD age, 54+/-8 years) after their first hemiparetic stroke.
