Participant age is indicated as a mean ± standard deviation. Results from Thumb Localization Test (TLT), Stereognosis, Graphesthesia, Position Sense, and the Chedoke-McMaster Stroke Assessment (CMSA), Pediatric Stroke Outcome Measure (PSOM), and Manual Abilities Classification System (MACS) are shown as the number of subjects who obtained a given score (square brackets). Assisting Hand Assessment (AHA), Melbourne Assessment (MA), Purdue Pegboard (PPB), and Behavioural Inattention Test (BIT) scores are shown as a mean ± standard deviation, with a range of scores shown in brackets.
