Summary

This research explores motor imagery as a rehabilitation tool after stroke. Brain imaging revealed sex-based differences in neural activation, with females showing greater efficiency. Practice improves patterns in both sexes. Understanding these differences enables personalized, home-based rehabilitation that may enhance recovery of arm and hand function.
