TBSS correlation analyses between FA and Fugl-Meyer Motor Assessment in patients.

<p>The FA values were positively correlated with the FMA scores (A), whereas the AD and RD values were negatively correlated with the FMA scores (B and C). DTI indices in the CC (black circle) showing consistent correlation with the FMA scores in stroke patients. The mean DTI indices from the cluster located in the CC, and the indices correlated with the FMA were extracted. Spearman correlation analyses were used and scatter plots were drawn to demonstrate associations between the mean DTI-indices and the FMA scores (rightmost pictures). The line represents the direction of the association and does not indicate a line of regression. L, left.
