^aFor patients who had more than one stroke, time since the first stroke is indicated in brackets, followed by the type of stroke (i = ischaemic; h = haemorrhagic, R = right hemisphere; L = left hemisphere).

^bIn brackets: the score received on the Edinburgh Handedness Inventory for ambidextrous subjects; − 1 = strongly left handed, 1 = strongly right handed, 0 = completely ambidextrous.
