ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is studying how to better understand and predict recovery from upper limb motor dysfunction after a stroke. About 30% to 66% of stroke survivors experience difficulty using their arms, and effective rehabilitation can help them recover. However, resources for rehabilitation can be limited, so the goal of this study is to find out how to evaluate a patient's recovery potential early on and create personalized rehabilitation plans based on their specific needs. The researchers will include 178 stroke patients who have experienced their first stroke and have upper limb dysfunction.

To participate, individuals must be between 18 and 80 years old, have stable conditions, and their stroke must have occurred less than three weeks prior to joining the study. Throughout the trial, participants will undergo various evaluations of their arm function at different time points (one month, three months, and six months after the stroke). The study will also use advanced imaging techniques to look at brain connections related to movement. This research aims to provide valuable insights that can help improve rehabilitation strategies and ensure that resources are used effectively for those recovering from stroke.
