- Original description
Currently, the literature regarding the relationship between Pulse Wave Velocity (PWV) and functional recovery, particularly of upper limb function, in patients with subacute stroke is still limited. Therefore, the aim of the study is to evaluate the changes in baPWV after four weeks of intensive rehabilitation therapy, and the correlation between these changes and functional recovery.Read full original descriptionShow less
The Improvement in Pulse Wave Velocity and Its Correlation With Clinical Outcomes in Subacute Stroke Patients Following Rehabilitation
Currently, the literature regarding the relationship between Pulse Wave Velocity (PWV) and functional recovery, particularly of upper limb function, in patients with subacute stroke is still limited. Therefore, the aim of the study is to evaluate the changes in baPWV after four weeks of intensive rehabilitation therapy, and the correlation between these changes and functional recovery.
Inclusion: First-onset cerebral ischemic stroke within the previous 3 months, which is confirmed clinically by computed tomography scans or magnetic resonance imaging; Sufficient cognition to understand procedures and provide informed consent.
Exclusion: Concurrent neurological or neurodegenerative diseases (e.g. Parkinson's disease, multiple sclerosis, etc.); Hemorrhagic stroke, cerebellar or brainstem lesions which may affect autonomic or balance; Malignancy; Brain tumor; Limb deficiency or amputation.
