stRoke alternatives
The best stRoke alternatives in developer tools, ranked by Sparkpulse's velocity_score.
Updated Aug 19, 2026
Looking for the best alternatives to stRoke? Sparkpulse tracks and ranks 12 alternatives in developer tools by shipping velocity — how frequently each ships meaningful updates, verified from official changelogs. For reference, stRoke shipped 0 meaningful updates in the last 30 days and carries a velocity score of 0.0 out of 10 in 2026. The alternatives below are ranked the same way, so you're comparing real release momentum, not marketing claims.
About stRoke
Split itself in two, keeping the stroke-trial functions and exporting the rest
stRoke is now deliberately narrow: functions for handling clinical stroke trial data, mostly questionnaire scoring such as pase_calc() for PASE and mfi_calc() for MFI domain scores. It reached that state by subtraction — the 24.10.1 release moved eight general-purpose helpers out to a separate package, project.aid, and stated the change of focus in the notes. The most recent release, 25.9.1, is an eighty-character note about accommodating upcoming ggplot2 changes.
