Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| It is expected that post-Stroke patients in Groups I and II will demonstrate a faster recovery of ipsilesional corticospinal tract integrity compared with patients in Group III, providing direct evidence related to the modulation of mu and beta rhythms associated with the perilesional motor task | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Based on the primary results obtained in this study, future investments are intended for the development and application of therapeutic protocols, as well as for the dissemination of the findings to the scientific community, with the aim of enabling the development of new treatment strategies and accelerating upper limb motor rehabilitation in individuals with neuromotor dysfunctions after Stroke | — |
