Defining the Trajectory of Motor Recovery After Stroke

Participants will be enrolled in the SMaHRT study during their acute stroke hospitalization and will have research visits spanning the post-stroke care continuum at approximately 6 weeks, 3 months, 6 months, one year, two years, and three years after stroke. The study will collect demographics and clinical outcome measures, clinical neuroimages, video and robot-kinematic data and neurophysiology data through TMS and EEG in order to quantify the course of motor recovery. The research visits may be accompanied by a comprehensive clinical visit to the Massachusetts General Hospital Neurorecovery Clinic. The goal is to understand the behavioral, neuroanatomic, and neurophysiologic underpinnings of motor recovery toward developing personalized strategies and neurotechnologies to facilitate neurorehabilitation and enable better recovery for people with stroke.
