Stroke Outcome and Magnetic Motor Evoked Potential
|

Abstract
|
|
|
Eighty four stroke patients with varying degree of hemiparesis were studied by magnetic motor evoked potentials (MEP). The diagnosis was made clinically and radiologically. MEP was used to assess the degree of functional recovery after stroke
prospectively. Staging motor impairment at the time on MEP and on follow-up day was carried out as a parameter of functional deficit. The results of MEP and the initial functional deficit were deficit were closely associated with the functional
recovery(p<0.001). And MEP had the ability in predicting functional outcome(P<0.05) in patients with similar severe degree of weakness. We conclude that MEP in association with clinical assessment is al useful tool in predicting functional
recovery
after stuoke.
