Research Focus
Dr. Pooja Khatri's lab at Yale University focuses on understanding how to better predict recovery outcomes for patients who have suffered a stroke, particularly concerning their upper extremity function. They are investigating the use of advanced imaging techniques and brain stimulation to identify patients who will benefit from specific treatments in the early stages after a stroke. This research aims to enhance personalized rehabilitation strategies for improving motor function in stroke survivors.

Research Aims
3AIM 01Validate the relationship between TMS and MRI biomarkers and upper extremity (UE) motor impairment outcomes at 90 days post-stroke.
AIM 02Confirm the predictive capability of the PREP2 tool for UE functional outcomes within the first week post-stroke.
AIM 03Comprehensively measure UE outcomes across various performance domains following ischemic stroke.
