No early factors for predicting motor recovery after stroke are noticeably different for upper and lower extremities. Upper extremity recovery is related to damage to the ipsilesional corticospinal tract and lesion volume. In contrast, lower extremity recovery is related to damage to the bilateral corticospinal tract and the proposed novel factor which is the normalized difference between early cognitive and motor function impairment. Lower extremity recovery is more strongly modulated by the relationship between motor and non‐motor functions compared with upper extremity recovery.
