Pilot study: could your body shape predict rehab success?

NCT ID NCT04204655

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This pilot study looks at how body composition (like muscle and fat) and nutrition affect recovery in people with neurological conditions. Researchers will use a simple test called bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) to measure body changes during rehabilitation. The goal is to find better ways to track and improve recovery in the future.
