Prospective Cohort Study : Evaluation of Prognosis Criteria for Walking Independently Recovery After Stroke.

NCT05572892 UNKNOWN

Based on a 2017 US study that developed an algorithm for predicting independent walking recovery after stroke, we propose a prospective study to assess the validity and applicability of this algorithm in the majority of stroke patients with walking dependence and to confirm its performance. This study will therefore include adult patients, hospitalised in the Neurology Department of Caen University Hospital, and presenting a dependence on walking according to the FAC (Functional Ambulation Categories) scale in the first week after stroke. Treated by M. Pierre-Alexis Rousseau (medical intern for Physical and Rehabilitation Medicine), under the direction of Dr. Alexis Ruet, and in collaboration with the physiotherapists of the Neurology Department (Delphine Lebreton and Daphne Scelles), this study is planned to include patients in the initial phase of the stroke, and to continue to follow up the patients until 6 months after their inclusion. The aim of this work is to evaluate the performance of the TWIST algorithm in predicting walking recovery after stroke according to trunk control (using the Trunk Control Test) and hip extension strength (using the Medical Research Council score), and to analyse other factors that may potentially influence walking recovery (such as visual field amputation, neglect, ataxia, depression, undernutrition).
