With nothing in the abstract I would expect nothing useful to come from this. Maybe guidelines, NOT PROTOCOLS.

Abstract

Stroke recovery therapies promote favorable neural plasticity, both during spontaneous recovery and the chronic phase. Activity-based therapies based on intense practice, some aided by integration of computers and telehealth, have shown promise. These studies emphasize key therapeutic variables such as dose, intensity, and timing. Preclinical drug studies have shown promise, but human translation has been challenged by identifying the target patient subgroup, requirements for concomitant training, and aligning biomarkers with preclinical evidence.
