Summary of Individual Patients Tapping Performance With the Paretic Hand in Each fMRI Session

Patient ID	Time Point	Description of the Movements	Individual Finger Isolation	Mirror and Associated Movements	Tapping Rate (Hz)
1	Pre	Separated thumb and index finger movements; low tapping amplitude	Difficulty in isolating middle, ring, and little fingers	Some wrist movements due to instability	0.5
	Post	Good separated thumb and index finger movements; high tapping amplitude	Same as “Pre”	None observed	0.5
2	Pre	Near-normal tapping performance; high amplitude of finger movements but less stable	Good	Some synergistic movements from the wrist	1.8
	Post	No noticeable difference from “Pre”	Good	Same as “Pre”	1.5
3	Pre	Fingers moving together; small tapping amplitude	Poor	Synkinesia of the fingers	~0.5
	Post	Same as “Pre”	Poor	Same as “Pre”	−0.5
	6-mo	Some individual finger movements; low tapping amplitude	Moderate	None observed	0.5
	12-mo	Same as “6-mo”; relatively high tapping amplitude	Moderate; more individual finger isolation than “Post”	None observed	0.7
4	Pre	Observable individual finger movements; low tapping amplitude	Moderate	Little finger moving together with others	0.7
	Post	Some individual finger movements; high tapping amplitude	Moderate	None observed	0.7
	6-mo	Good individual finger movements; high tapping amplitude	Good	None observed	0.7
	12-mo	No obvious difference from “6-mo”	Good	None observed	0.7

fMRI = functional magnetic resonance imaging; Pre = before; Post = after; 6-mo = 6 months after; 12-mo = 12 months after therapeutic training.
