For example, a year after their surgery, half of the people who participated in a follow-up exam gained 10 or more points on a 100-point assessment of motor function.

This dated to the 19th century and the discovery of the anatomic localisation of motor function in the brain.

Although stair-lifts can be a solution, researchers say that people are better able to keep their motor function if they continue moving as much as possible.

Areas of the cortex that inhibit movement upon stimulation have been found in some cases to be supplemental and not vital to motor function.

The results of gaining motor function can not guarantee results.
