“…The eight structure-or function-based MRI studies showed that MRIs are useful in predicting gait ability. Overall, most studies revealed that the patients who had damage to their motor-related structures-that is to say, component structures of the CST (primary motor cortex, corona radiata, and internal capsule) or basal ganglia (caudate nucleus, putamen, and globus pallidus)-showed poor gait recovery [28][29][30] . Interestingly, Jones et al 31 reported that CST damage independently predicted the response to therapy for general mobility ability, defined using the functional ambulation category and the modified Rivermead mobility index, but not walk speed.…”

The usefulness of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in predicting gait ability in stroke patients remains unclear. Therefore, MRI evaluations have not yet been standardized in stroke rehabilitation. We performed a systematic review to consolidate evidence regarding the use of MRIs in predicting gait ability of stroke patients. The Medline, Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature, and SCOPUS databases were comprehensively searched. We included all literature published from each source’s earliest date to August 2020. We included 19 studies: 8 were classified as structure- or function-based MRI studies and 11 as neural tract integrity-based MRI studies. Most structure- or function-based MRI studies indicated that damage to motor-related areas (primary motor cortex, corona radiata, internal capsule, and basal ganglia) or insula was related to poor gait recovery. In neural tract integrity-based MRI studies, integrity of the corticospinal tract was related to gait ability. Some studies reported predictive value of the corticoreticular pathway. All included studies had some concerns, at least one, based on the Cochrane risk of bias instrument. This review suggests that MRIs are useful in predicting gait ability of stroke patients. However, we cannot make definitive conclusion regarding the predictive value, due to the lack of quantitative evaluations.
