Table 2 Functional assessment at baseline and during follow-up

From: Influence of essential amino acids on muscle mass and muscle strength in patients with cerebral stroke during early rehabilitation: protocol and rationale of a randomized clinical trial (AMINO-Stroke Study)

Extended functional assessment at baseline and at 4 weeks follow-up

• Activity of daily living (modified Rankin scale, Barthel Index)

• Functional assessment scales and physical performance (Rivermead Motor Assessment Gross Function, Fugl-Meyer Scale, Functional ambulatory capacity)

• Muscle functional assessment (SPPBT, hand grip, pinch grip)

• Quality of life and nutritional status (EQ-5D, PGA)

• Blood and biomarker bank: metabolic /immunologic profile

• 24 h Holter electrocardiogram (ECG)

• Body composition by bioelectrical impendance analysis (BIA)

• Urine status

Functional assessment at 3 and 6 months follow-up

• Activity of daily living (mRS, Barthel index)

• Muscle functional assessment (SPPBT, hand grip, pinch grip)

• Quality of life and nutritional status (EQ-5D, PGA)

• Blood and biomarker bank: metabolic/immunologic profile

• 24 h Holter ECG

• Body composition by bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA)

• Urine status
