Inclusion Criteria

Stroke Patients

4. Those who can start comprehensive rehabilitation for hemiplegia 30 to 90 days after the onset
5. Persons who have obtained documentary consent regarding participation in this research by their own free will.
However, if the consent explanation document cannot be read or written by the subject due to aphasia or paralysis, the witness will witness the entireprocess of informed consent, and the subject will voluntarily study this study at the time of obtainingconsent. Written in writing that you have decided to participate in. Witnesses are adults who are not unduly affected by those involved in this study and who can take a third-party position.
