About this trial

As Singapore's population is aging rapidly, the incidence rate of stroke has been increasing in the past years. Rehabilitation is essential for the resumption of daily activities, and with the appropriate care, it is possible for stroke-survivors to regain most of their functions.

Hence, this study aims to better understand upper limb recovery covering different stages post-stroke in a representative cohort of Asian adults
