Predicting Post Stroke Limb Spasticity- LOVA3 - Clinical Trial
¿Cuál es el Propósito de este estudio?
We are doing this study to help develop a tool that doctors can use to figure out who might be at risk for developing muscle spasticity after a stroke. Spasticity is abnormal muscle stiffening that can lower people's strength and ability to move well. We hope this tool can help doctors catch this problem early and start treatment sooner to make therapy more effective.
