Key Points

To evaluate the association between serum total testosterone levels and functional recovery post-rehabilitation in males with chronic ischemic stroke.
Conducted a cross-sectional study.
Included male patients with chronic ischemic stroke undergoing rehabilitation.
Measured serum total testosterone levels post-rehabilitation.
Assessed functional recovery outcomes.
Rehabilitation significantly improved functional status in participants.
Post-rehabilitation testosterone levels were not associated with functional outcomes.
Study findings are exploratory, indicating the need for longitudinal studies.

Abstract

Rehabilitation significantly improved functional status in male patients with chronic ischemic stroke. Although post-rehabilitation S-TT levels were not associated with functional outcomes, the findings are exploratory and highlight the need for longitudinal studies to clarify the role of testosterone in post-stroke recovery.
