Pulse Wave Velocity and in Subacute Stroke Patients Following Rehabilitation

Recruiting now

Conditions studied: Ischemic Stroke, Arterial Stiffness, Pulse Wave Velocity, Rehabilitation

In brief

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.
