What this study is testing
- What it's testing
- Stroke is a pathology caused by disturbances in the brain's arterial circulation, leading to high morbidity rates. Individuals who experience a stroke often face neurological impairments such as motor, sensory, and cognitive dysfunctions, which negatively impact muscle strength, postural control, sensation, and gait, reducing their independence in daily activities.
