Why the study?
Does cardiac autonomic dysfunction (measured by heart-rate variability) predict unfavorable functional outcome in patients with recent ischaemic stroke undergoing rehabilitation?
Does cardiac autonomic dysfunction (measured by heart-rate variability) predict unfavorable functional outcome in patients with recent ischaemic stroke undergoing rehabilitation?
Reduced heart rate variability before rehabilitation independently predicts unfavorable functional recovery in survivors of recent ischemic stroke.

Autonomic derangement may worsen post-stroke rehab outcomes; hypothesis-generating for autonomic monitoring in prognostic models.
