Abstract:
:During neurorehabilitation, clinical measurements are widely adopted to evaluate behavioral improvements after treatment. However, it is not able to identify or monitor the change of central nervous system (CNS) of each individual patient. Resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging (rs-fMRI) has been widely used to investigate brain functions in healthy controls (HCs) and patients with neurological diseases, which could find functional changes following neurorehabilitation. In this paper, a distance-based rehabilitation evaluation method based on rs-fMRI was proposed. Specifically, we posit that in the functional connectivity (FC) space, patients and HCs distribute separately. Linear support vector machines (SVM) were trained on the brain networks to firstly separate patients from HCs. Second, the FC similarity between patients and HCs was measured by the L2 distance of each subject's feature vector to the separating hyperplane. Finally, statistical analysis of the distance revealed rehabilitation program induced improvements in patients and predicted rehabilitation outcomes. An rs-fMRI dataset with 22 HCs and 18 spinal cord injury (SCI) patients was utilized to validate our method. We built whole-brain networks using five atlases to test the robustness of the method and search for features under different node resolutions. The classifier successfully separated patients and HCs. Significant improvements in FC after treatment were found for the patients for all five atlases using the proposed method, which was consistent with clinical measurements. Furthermore, distance obtained from individual patient's longitudinal data showed a similar trend with each one's clinical scores, implying the possibility of individual rehabilitation outcome tracking and prediction. Our method not only provides a novel perspective of applying rs-fMRI to neurorehabilitation monitoring but also proves the potential in individualized rehabilitation prediction.
