Abstract
A number of therapies are emerging that have the potential to reduce poststroke disability by promoting repair. Careful evaluation of patients with stroke might help distinguish those who are most likely to respond to a restorative therapy from those who lack biological substrate needed to achieve gains. Potential approaches to such stratification are considered, including measures of brain injury or of poststroke brain function.
