DTI-TBSS analysis showed significant areas in the stroke compared with those in the controls.

<p>White matter structures showing a significant FA decrease and an AD and RD increase in different brain regions in the stroke group (p_FWE < 0.05 corrected for multiple comparisons). Statistical images were overlapped onto the mean of the skeleton (green) and the MNI152 template (gray-scale) for visualization. L, left; FA, fractional anisotropy; AD, axial diffusivity; RD, radial diffusivity.
