BAT is potentially more effective than UAT in improving upper limb recovery after stroke by activating the ipsilesional primary motor area (M1), supplementary motor area (SMA), and primary sensory cortex (S1) and enhancing the intra-hemispheric and interhemispheric connectivity within the sensorimotor network and the cortical motor system.
