The subject had no significant past medical history before stroke onset, and a diffusion-weighted image on the day of onset showed a high density area in the ventral side of the midbrain and pons on the right side (Figure 1).
Time-course of changes in MMs during left index finger extension. (a) Typical example of left and right hands during left index finger extension at each time period. The lines connecting the tip of the index finger and thumb indicate the left (filled circle) and right (open circle) aperture. (b) Mean values of the left (filled circle) and right (open circle) aperture at each time period. Error bars indicate SD.

Although the MRC scale maintained the same grade for 13 months, the left index-thumb aperture increased with time.  Figure 2(a) presents a typical example of the left and right hands during left index finger extension at each time period, and Figure 2(b) shows their mean values out of a total of 10 trials.
