Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This clinical study is organized for people with stroke often experience difficulties with their sensation in their upper limb. New technologies may be able to help these important problems. However, there is currently not enough knowledge about how the brain recovers in people with sensory impairments in their arm and hand. Using a non-invasive technique of recording brain activity, known as electroencephalography (EEG), brain activity in combination with somatosensation of the hand will be measured. Therefore, the purpose of this study will be to analyse brain activity in relation to somatosensory impairments after stroke during the first two weeks after stroke.

Eligibility Criteria

Check the participation requirements, including inclusion and exclusion rules, age limits, and whether healthy volunteers are accepted.

Inclusion Criteria

Participants will be recruited during the first 2-3 days post-stroke. They should have:

1. a first-ever unilateral, supra-tentorial stroke, as defined by Wold Health Organisation;
2. admission to the acute hospital,
3. deficit in distal pinprick somatosensory measured by Rivermead assessment of somatosensory performance (score of ≤4) and/or motor impairment measured by Fugl Meyer Assessment (score of ≤12 out of 14),
4. the age of \> 18 years and
5. the ability to provide informed consent.

Healthy adults will also be recruited and they should have:

1. no history of sensory impairments in their hands
2. the age of \> 18 years and
3. the ability to provide informed consent.
