Small study measures rapid muscle decline after stroke
NCT ID NCT06603701
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study aimed to monitor muscle strength and body composition changes in the first 10 days after a severe stroke. Researchers used a device called an impedancemeter to measure muscle mass and a dynamometer to test grip strength. Only 6 people participated before the study was stopped, so results are very limited.
