What this trial studies

This observational study focuses on understanding the acute prognostic factors that influence functional recovery in stroke survivors. It aims to describe various recovery patterns based on clinical characteristics identified shortly after a stroke. Participants will undergo validated functional and clinical assessments at multiple time points: three months, six months, and one year post-stroke, without any interventions that could disrupt standard clinical practice. The study is conducted at the stroke unit of San Raffaele Hospital in Milan.
