Investigating body composition's impact on stroke recovery

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This study examines how body composition affects the recovery of patients who have experienced an acute stroke. It focuses on two bioimpedance parameters, skeletal mass index and phase angle, along with measurements of the temporal muscle's thickness and surface area. By analyzing these factors within the first 72 hours post-stroke, the study aims to predict functional outcomes at discharge and at a 6-month follow-up. The findings could help tailor rehabilitation strategies based on individual prognostic factors.
