Abstract :
Functional magnetic resonance image (fMRI) has great potential for assessment of rehabilitation effects and several objective scale. Our aim of this study is evaluating the objective scale of rehabilitation using the LI index in fMRI. The index of left hand task was improved time by time otherwise the index of the right hand task was slightly decreased. Our study confirmed the LI index can be objective assessment for rehabilitation recovery.
