This is an observational study called the Stroke Motor Rehabilitation and Recovery Study. Researchers will follow you for up to three years after your stroke to carefully measure how your arm and hand movement improves over time. They'll use videos, brain scans, and specialized tests to understand what helps some people recover better than others.
After a stroke, doctors need better ways to predict who will recover well and how to personalize treatment plans. This study will help researchers understand the patterns of recovery and develop better rehabilitation strategies tailored to each person.

You'll be enrolled while you're in the hospital after your stroke. Then you'll return for research visits at approximately 6 weeks, 3 months, 6 months, 1 year, 2 years, and 3 years after your stroke. At each visit, researchers will measure your movement using videos and special equipment, perform brain scans, and do tests that measure how your brain is working. Some visits may include a comprehensive clinical appointment at the hospital's neurorecovery clinic.
