What the trial is, and whether it could suit you

Stroke remains the leading cause of severe disability, and survivors frequently have incomplete recovery. More than half of older survivors have impaired mobility which contributes to poorer quality-of-life (QoL) and suffering. The annual rate of disability compared to myocardial infarction triples, and stroke accelerates natural age-related functional decline. Somatic dysfunction (SD) is impaired function of the body framework identified by physical examination. Few studies have rigorously studied SD among stroke survivors. We recently demonstrated the reliability of a novel, more construct valid osteopathic examination methodology \[called the Functional Pathology of the Musculoskeletal System (FPMSS) model\] to quantify SD among asymptomatic participants and patients with acute cerebral ischemia. The preliminary findings suggest that dysfunction may develop within the first week after
