“…While the incidence of stroke doubles for each decade after age 55, 24 , 25 these results provide confidence for applying this surgery in older patients. For severity of paralysis, patients with a UEFM score below 20 points or even below 10 points who were considered to have a poor potential for recovery 26 , 27 , 28 showed substantial improvements in function and decrease in spasticity. Patients with a better baseline functional state (UEFM over 40 points) had a modest functional improvement compared with other subgroups, which may be attributed to the “ceiling effect”, while their self-reported outcomes indicated that they acquired improvements in a practical way (Table S2).…”

Background A previous randomized controlled trial showed contralateral seventh cervical nerve (CC7) cross transfer to be safe and effective in restoring the arm function of spastic arm paralysis patients in a specified population. Guidance on indications, safety and expected long-term improvements of the surgery are needed for clinical practice.Methods This is a retrospective, multicenter, propensity score-matched cohort study. All patients registered between 2013 and 2019 with unilateral spastic arm paralysis over 1 year who were registered at one of five centers in China and South Korea were included. Patients received CC7 cross transfer or rehabilitation treatment in each center. Primary outcome was the change in the upper-extremity Fugl−Meyer (UEFM) score from baseline to 2-year follow-up; larger increase indicated better functional improvements.
