Stroke Survivors' hidden muscle loss revealed in new study
NCT ID NCT07492849
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study measured muscle loss (sarcopenia) in 80 stroke survivors using simple tests like grip strength, walking speed, and ultrasound. Researchers compared patients who had a stroke recently (post-acute care) with those who had one over a year ago. The goal was to see how age, sex, and stroke severity affect muscle health, which could help design better recovery programs.
