(2) Patients diagnosed with acute ischemic stroke in brain image(MR or CT)
(3) Patients participating within 90 days of the onset
(4) Patients with upper or lower limb weakness (Fugl-Meyer Assessment (FMA) motor score = 55 and 1= Medical Research Council Scale score (at least one arm or leg motor power grade) =4)
