Summary

This study uses advanced MRI scans to watch how the brain and spinal cord work together during arm movements in people who have had a stroke. Researchers want to understand which nerve pathways the brain uses to move the shoulder after a stroke. The goal is to learn more about how the brain recovers, not to test a new treatment. About 32 adults with chronic stroke-related weakness on one side will participate.
