Post-stroke outcome is influenced by ascending (VTMC) and descending (CST) fiber tracts. Favorable outcome regarding independence (modified Ranking Scale), upper limb motor function (modified Fugl-Meyer upper extremity score), and cortical symptoms (aphasia, neglect) was more strongly related to the ascending than descending tract.
