NO
To quantify the test-retest reliability of the continuous laterality indices (Wrist D_raw, Tap Diff) and the derived type labels (Type A/B/C) of an NIRS-based classifier using same-day repeated measurements that exclude true change (rTMS effect and spontaneous recovery), and to judge, by a pre-specified decision rule, whether it is usable for individual-level treatment allocation.
Others
Evaluation of measurement properties (test-retest reliability)
Exploratory
Test-retest reliability of the continuous indices Wrist D_raw and Tap Diff, expressed as ICC(2,1) with 95%CI; together with SEM_abs, MDC95, and agreement of the type labels (Cohen/Fleiss kappa).
(1) Reduction of margin = 1.96 x SEM / sqrt(k) with k-averaging (k=1,2,3). (2) Bland-Altman bias and 95% limits of agreement. (3) Within-subject SD, SEM and ICC stratified by severity and task type (tap/grip).
Observational
| 20 | years-old | <= |
| Not applicable |
Male and Female
Inpatients with stroke (hemorrhagic/ischemic) in a convalescent rehabilitation ward
FMA-UE <= 47 (moderate-to-severe upper-limb paresis)
Meets the functional floor for the NIRS task (can stably perform the affected-hand task for 3 blocks / 180 s on verbal or imitation instruction)
Approximately 14-180 days after onset
Aged 20 years or older
Written informed consent (or by proxy as needed)
FMA-UE >= 48 (very mild)
Cannot meet the functional floor (severe disturbance of consciousness, severe receptive aphasia, or severe cognitive impairment preventing stable task performance)
Marked involuntary movement precluding stable task performance
Scheduled rTMS or other cortical-excitability-modifying intervention on the day of measurement (the measurement period refers to three consecutive measurements within the same session on a single day; planned rTMS after the measurement day is not an exclusion criterion)
Scalp/skull condition unsuitable for probe attachment

This is a measurement-property (test-retest reliability) study that gates a future treatment-allocation trial. Because repetitions share the same day and montage, the estimated reliability is an upper bound not including donning or between-day variability; real-world reliability may be lower. Reporting follows GRRAS.
The institution formally determined that ethics committee review was not required for this study (non-invasive, non-interventional, and within the scope of routine clinical care; determination date: 19 June 2026). Written informed consent is obtained from participants, and an opt-out procedure is provided when written consent is not feasible.
