Diagnostic and Prognostic Value of New Quick Tests of Action Slowing in Stroke and in Cognitive Neurodegenerative Disease

This trial tests whether simple, quick assessments of how fast a person moves and reacts can help doctors diagnose neurodegenerative diseases earlier or predict how well stroke patients recover. Researchers will compare these speed tests against brain imaging to understand what brain changes drive slowing. There is no phase designation, meaning this is an observational diagnostic study rather than a drug or treatment trial.
