In plain words

What the trial is, and whether it could suit you

This prospective, single-center observational study evaluates whether handedness is associated with upper-limb motor recovery after a recent unilateral stroke. Adults admitted to the stroke unit with a confirmed unilateral stroke within 5 days are included if they do not object to participation. Upper-limb impairment is assessed early after stroke and at 6 months using standardized clinical scales. Handedness is determined by self-report, and the Edinburgh Handedness Inventory is administered when feasible. The main hypothesis is that left-handed participants may show better upper-limb motor recovery at 6 months than right-handed participants, potentially due to differences in brain motor network lateralization.
