About this trial

Our study purpose is to evaluate the predictive power of various clinical, neurophysiological, and neuroimaging biomarkers-acquired and analyzed using advanced and integrated techniques-on motor functional recovery and disability post-stroke. The goal is to construct an integrated individual biomarker algorithm with a high predictive value for outcomes.

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

change in arm Fugl-Meyer score

assess the predictive power of biomarkers, individually or in combination, on the Fugl-Meyer Upper Limb Motor Scale (FM-UL) score at two months post-rehabilitation admission and at 4-6 months post-discharge

Time frame
at T0 (from 14 to 30 days post-stroke), T1 (after 2 months of intensive rehabilitation treatment) and T2 (4-6 months after discharge).
