- Original description
Body composition appears to be a prognostic factor for the severity and functional outcome of stroke patients. In this study the prognostic value of two bioimpedance parameters will be studied (skeletal mass index and phase angle) and two temporal muscle measurements (thickness and surface area) to predict the functional outcome of patients at discharge and at 6 monthsRead full original descriptionShow less
Prognostic Value for Predicting Functional Outcome Bioimpedancemetry and Temporal Muscle Measurement in Acute Stroke
Body composition appears to be a prognostic factor for the severity and functional outcome of stroke patients. In this study the prognostic value of two bioimpedance parameters will be studied (skeletal mass index and phase angle) and two temporal muscle measurements (thickness and surface area) to predict the functional outcome of patients at discharge and at 6 months
Inclusion: volunteer stroke patients in acute phase; Age ≥ 18 years; Having had a brain MRI; Able to understand assessment guidelines; Not having objected to participate in the study after being duly informed.
Exclusion: Person under tutorship or curatorship; Person under court protection; Persons deprived of their liberty; Pregnant or breastfeeding women; Have a pacemaker or defibrillator.
