Corticomuscular coherence in the acute and subacute phase after stroke
Stroke results from critically reduced blood flow to the brain tissue due to bleeding or obstruction of arteries. Globally, stroke remains a major cause of disability despite advances in preventive treatment and in acute management (Hankey, 2017). The most common impairment caused by stroke is motor disability affecting approximately 80% of the patients, most frequently seen as hemiparesis (Langhorne et al., 2009). Spontaneous recovery may occur in the following weeks and months after stroke and can be facilitated through rehabilitation involving exercise (Maulden et al., 2005).

P 165 Incidence, clinical characteristics and longterm course of headache in patients with stroke (DMKG multicenter study)
Post stroke headache is a symptom which is generally not further differentiated. According to previous European and American studies, it is a common phenomenon. Nevertheless, other symptoms of stroke, such as palsy or aphasia, are dominating clinical assessments. However, the symptom “headache” can be an essential part of the clinical picture as in subarachnoid bleeding or cerebral venous thrombosis and it is unclear which risk factors modulate the symptoms and the occurrence of headache in stroke.
