简要总结
This randomized, double-blind, parallel-group trial compares a personalized physiotherapy protocol stratified by apraxia subtype and lesion location with standard physiotherapy care in patients with post-stroke limb apraxia. Ninety-six participants will be randomized (1:1) to receive either personalized or conventional rehabilitation, five sessions per week for six weeks. Primary outcomes include functional independence (Barthel Index, FIM) and motor planning accuracy assessed using kinematic parameters, while quality of life (SIS16) is a secondary outcome. The study hypothesizes that stratified, lesion-informed physiotherapy will produce superior clinical improvement compared to standard care.
