P = participant; M = male, F = female; I = ischaemic stroke, H = haemorrhagic stroke; L = left, R = right; NIH: NIH Stroke Scale. Bamford classification: 1 = total anterior circulation stroke, 2 = partial anterior circulation stroke, 3 = lacunar stroke (no cases observed), 4 = posterior circulation stroke. Pre-treatment baseline scores for each participant on tests used to assess MIT and REMIT are also given. ul-FM = Fugl-Meyer assessment of the upper limb; BB = Box and Block test; HGS = hand grip strength. Interval measures of the ul-FM and ABILHAND are given on a 0–100 scale (the higher, the better). All patients were right-handed.
