True behavioral restitution, a return to normal motor patterns with the affected limb post-stroke, requires the recruitment and restoration of the residual ipsilesional hemisphere/corticospinal tract (CST). Following stroke, the spontaneous recovery mechanism selectively and continuously uses a more optimized neural network for motor execution, depending on the degree of CST damage.
