Predicting functional outcome in stroke is challenging to most clinicians, partly
because of the complexity of the condition and also because of the lack of
validated prognostic models.
The strongest predictors of functional outcome are
age and motor function at stroke onset. There is a growing literature on
predicting recovery of upper limb after stroke; however, literature on prediction
of language recovery remains sparse. This review covers the current status of
predicting functional outcome after stroke focusing on recovery of activities of
daily living, ambulation, upper limb use, and aphasia. Use of clinical factors,
imaging, and neurophysiological measures are discussed.
