Brief Summary
This prospective, single-center observational study evaluates whether handedness is associated with upper-limb motor recovery after a recent unilateral stroke. Adults admitted to the stroke unit with a confirmed unilateral stroke within 5 days are included if they do not object to participation. Upper-limb impairment is assessed early after stroke and at 6 months using standardized clinical scales. Handedness is determined by self-report, and the Edinburgh Handedness Inventory is administered when feasible. The main hypothesis is that left-handed participants may show better upper-limb motor recovery at 6 months than right-handed participants, potentially due to differences in brain motor network lateralization.
Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria: 1. Confirmed unilateral recent stroke (less than 5 days). 2. Age 18 years and older. 3. Participant or proxy does not object to participation Exclusion Criteria: 1. Prior stroke with residual motor sequelae. 2. Pre-stroke upper-limb deficit. 3. Follow-up at 6 months not planned at Orléans. 4. Protected adult (guardianship/curatorship), person under legal protection, or deprived of liberty. 5. Pregnant or breastfeeding woman.
