Measuring back muscle thickness in chronic stroke patients
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial uses ultrasound to measure the thickness of a specific back muscle in people who have had a stroke at least 6 months ago. It aims to understand changes in this muscle after stroke, which may help improve rehabilitation.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
