Data are no. (%) unless indicated.
The data for left paretic patients are not shown because 85% performed strategy 4.
Significant difference between all the columns and 1–4 = significant difference between two columns (p < 0.05).
NA, not applicable for qualitative parameters.
One turn could not be classified as any pattern.
