Evolution of the Patient's Perception of the Use of the Upper Limb After a Stroke During Intensive Rehabilitation

Recruiting

• Conditions: Upper Limb Ischemia
• Interventions: Diagnostic Test: Functional assessments

• Registration Number: NCT06569771
• Lead Sponsor: Grand Hôpital de Charleroi

Brief Summary

This study is being carried out in the context of rehabilitation after stroke, where persistent upper limb weakness is a major challenge. It aims to explore the relationship between observed function and patients' perceived participation in use.
