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.
