About this trial

Body composition appears to be a prognostic factor for the severity and functional outcome of stroke patients. In this study the prognostic value of two bioimpedance parameters will be studied (skeletal mass index and phase angle) and two temporal muscle measurements (thickness and surface area) to predict the functional outcome of patients at discharge and at 6 months

Secondary outcomes

1

Modified Rankin Scale (mRS)

The modified Rankin Scale is used to assess the disability of patients in the acute phase of stroke recovery. It consists of a single item, with 5 levels corresponding to no disability, mild disability, moderate disability, moderately severe disability and severe disability.

Time frame
Month 6

Time frame
Through month 3
3
