Study group of adults with ischemic stroke
This study looks at adults who have had an ischemic stroke confirmed on MRI and a blockage in a major brain artery. Researchers want to understand stroke care in people who can receive standard clot-busting treatment (thrombolysis) and/or clot removal (thrombectomy).

French trunk impairment scale adaptation and validation study
This study aims to adapt and validate a French version of the Trunk Impairment Scale, a tool that measures how well stroke survivors can control their trunk (core body) movements. Participating will help researchers improve stroke recovery assessments.
