Table 5 Spearman correlation between the within subject regression coefficient of fractional anisotropy value and clinical scores (n = 12).

Region of FA value	NIHSS rs (p)	FM scale rs (p)	BI rs (p)
Above the internal capsule	0.25 (0.44)	−0.38 (0.22)	−0.07 (0.82)
Internal capsule	−0.08 (0.81)	−0.126 (0.70)	−0.07 (0.82)
Below the internal capsule	0.86 (0.000)	−0.56 (0.06)	−0.38 (0.23)

BI, Barthel Index; FA, fractional anisotropy; FM scale, Fugl‐Meyer scale; NIHSS, National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale.
