Abstract: Stroke-related sarcopenia (SRS) is a secondary sarcopenia caused by stroke, typically characterized by a rapid decline in muscle mass and structural changes following the onset of stroke. At present, there is a lack of clinical research on the diagnosis and treatment of SRS, and its mechanism of occurrence is complex, which cannot be explained by post-stroke apraxia alone, leading to significant difficulties in screening and intervening in SRS. This article reviews the pathogenesis, specific manifestations, screening, risk factors and predictive biomarkers of SRS, its impact on patients, and possible prevention and intervention strategies.
