M, male; F, female; R, right; L, left; UL, upper limb; IC, internal capsule; PLIC, posterior limb of IC; BG, basal ganglia; CR, corona radiata. UL MRC scores are strength measures (scale 0–5; 0 = no power, 5 = normal) for muscles of the affected upper limb acutely after stroke, as reported in the medical record; hand MRC scores are given in parentheses if available. Summary values are mean ± SD.
