Inclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria: Inclusion Criteria 1. Diagnosis: Patients must meet the diagnostic criteria for ischemic stroke. 2. Age and Gender: Age at onset should be between 18 and 70 years, with no restrictions on gender. 3. Disease Duration: The course of the disease should range from 2 weeks to 9 months. 4. Upper Limb Dysfunction: Patients should exhibit impaired upper limb function on the affected side, with muscle strength graded 0–3 or Brunnstrom stage I–III. Additionally, there should be no significant cognitive impairment. 5. General Health: Patients must have stable vital signs, clear consciousness, no significant intellectual disability, and no severe hearing impairment. They should also be able to cooperate with basic rehabilitation training. 6. Compliance: Patients must provide signed informed consent and demonstrate the ability to adhere to the prescribed treatment regimen.

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: Exclusion Criteria 1. Stroke History: Patients with a history of three or more strokes. 2. Severe Comorbidities: Patients with significant organic diseases of the heart, liver, spleen, lungs, or kidneys, as well as psychiatric disorders (e.g., history of cardiac stents, epilepsy, severe cognitive impairment) or malignant tumors. 3. Modified Ashworth Scale: Patients with a Modified Ashworth Scale grade of 0 or greater than III. 4. Non-Compliance: Patients unable to comply with isokinetic training (IT), Constraint-Induced Movement Therapy (CIMT), or conventional rehabilitation therapy (UR), including those who cannot adhere to the treatment regimen or who self-administer additional therapies that may interfere with data collection or efficacy evaluation. 5. Contraindications: Patients with conditions that preclude participation in isokinetic training or CIMT, such as acute traumatic brain injury, cerebral hemorrhage, a history of epilepsy, or electroencephalogram (EEG) findings indicating epileptiform changes. Pregnant or lactating women, as well as those with a history of severe skin allergies, are also excluded. 6. Neurological or Psychiatric Disorders: Patients with other neurological conditions (e.g., polyneuropathy, diabetic neuropathy, motor neuron disease, neuromuscular junction disorders, myopathies) or severe psychiatric disorders (e.g., moderate to severe anxiety or depression) that make them unsuitable for the treatment. 7. Unstable Conditions: Patients with unstable medical conditions or uncontrolled health factors that may interfere with the study.
