ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is looking into how a special test called surface electromyography (EMG) can help us understand how well people recover their balance and walking after having a stroke. The researchers want to find out what factors might predict a patient’s chance of improving in these areas during their rehabilitation, which is the second stage of recovery after a stroke.

To participate, individuals must be between 18 and 89 years old and have had their first stroke, known as a cerebral infarction. They should be able to walk on their own and have some muscle strength. Participants will need to provide their consent to join the study. If chosen, they can expect to undergo assessments that will help both their recovery process and contribute to our understanding of stroke rehabilitation. This trial is currently recruiting participants, and it's an opportunity to help advance knowledge in stroke recovery while receiving support for their own rehabilitation journey.
