Pulse Wave Velocity and in Subacute Stroke Patients Following Rehabilitation
Sponsor: Shin Kong Wu Ho-Su Memorial Hospital
Summary
Currently, the literature regarding the relationship between Pulse Wave Velocity (PWV) and functional recovery, particularly of upper limb function, in patients with subacute stroke is still limited. Therefore, the aim of the study is to evaluate the changes in baPWV after four weeks of intensive rehabilitation therapy, and the correlation between these changes and functional recovery.
