Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Ideal candidates include adult stroke patients in the acute phase who can understand assessment guidelines.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients who are under legal protection, pregnant, or have certain medical devices like pacemakers may not benefit from this study.

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.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this study could enhance recovery strategies for stroke patients by identifying key prognostic indicators.
How similar studies have gone: While the specific approach of using body composition metrics in acute stroke patients is novel, related studies have indicated that physiological factors can influence recovery outcomes.
