Table 1. Demographic data and motor scores of stroke patients classified by more-affected side motor-ability and sensory function.
Motor function | Sensory function | |||
High motor-functiongroup | Low motor-functiongroup | Good sensationgroup | Poor sensationgroup | |
n | 24 | 18 | 28 | 14 |
Age (mean, SD) | 62.7±10.2 | 56.7±17.6 | 63.2±11.6 | 53.9±16.5 |
Sex (male:female) | 17∶7 | 11∶7 | 18∶10 | 10∶4 |
Months post-stroke (mean, SD) | 21.5±36.5 | 37.2±58.7 | 31.8±56.8 | 21.2±16.5 |
More-affected side (right:left) | 11∶13 | 7∶11 | 14∶14 | 10∶4 |
Dominant side affected (n) | 10 | 8 | 13 | 11 |
Stroke type Ischaemic:hemorrhagic | 19∶5 | 10∶8 | 20∶8 | 9∶5 |
Wolf Motor Function Test (s) | 4 [3]–[12] | 97 [74–113]*** | 12.1 [3.8–70.2 ] | 82 [12–113] |
Fugl-Meyer Assessment | 57±1.4 | 16±3.2*** | 55 [27–61] | 17 [5]–[55]* |
Motor-function scores were different between groups (***p<0.001). Fugl-Meyer scores were higher for patients with poor sensation (*p<0.05). Wolf Motor-Function Test data are the mean times for the 15 timed tasks with a maximum time of 120 s per task; maximum Fugl-Meyer score is 66. Data are presented as mean ± SEM or median [IQR].
