Stroke is the leading cause of death and disability in China. Recently, many previous studies suggested exploring the functional reorganization of the motor function among post-stroke survivors is urgent to be solved in both clinical work and applied basic research. Investigating the structural connectivity (SC) of the brain could visualize the anatomical connections between different brain regions and exploring the functional connectivity (FC) could reveal the functional activity patterns of the human brain in resting- and task- states. Previous studies suggested that SC-FC coupling analysis may shed light on exploring biological markers for the assessment and treatment of motor deficits in post-stroke survivors. The current study aims to reveal the SC-FC coupling pattern and its relationship with motor function in post-stroke survivors with motor dysfunction by multimodal MRI.
