This trial is studying how intensive rehabilitation therapy affects blood vessel stiffness in people who have had a stroke within the past three months. Researchers will measure a specific marker of blood vessel stiffness (called pulse wave velocity) before and after four weeks of rehabilitation to see how it relates to recovery of arm and hand function.
Blood vessel stiffness increases with age and is an important risk factor for stroke and other serious heart problems. While doctors know that this measurement improves when stroke patients recover well, there is limited research on exactly how it connects to physical recovery—especially in the arms and hands—during the weeks after a stroke.

You will visit the hospital's rehabilitation department at the beginning of the study and again after four weeks of intensive rehabilitation therapy. At each visit, doctors will perform a quick, painless test to measure how stiff your blood vessels are and will assess how well your arms, hands, and other functions are recovering from your stroke. The rehabilitation therapy itself is standard care—this study is measuring how your body responds to it.
