  1. A small number of clinical assessments were not carried out on all subjects. For those assessments with missing subjects, the actual number of subjects is indicated within curly brackets, {}. Variables including age, days since stroke, Purdue Pegboard (PPB), Functional Independence Measure (FIM), FIM self care subscore (FIMsc), and Behavioral Inattention Test (BIT) are indicated as the median followed by the range within round brackets, (). Variables including Thumb Localizing Test, Chedoke-McMaster Stroke Assessment - Impairment Inventory (CMSA), and Modified Ashworth Scores (MAS) are shown as the number of subjects within each category within square brackets, []. For example, there are 6 values for the MAS, corresponding to the number of subjects that scored a 0, 1, 1+, 2, 3, or 4. Thumb localizing scores indicate the score when subjects were localizing their affected/dominant thumb with their unaffected/non-dominant hand. CMSS, MAS and PPB scores of controls are for the dominant arm. Abbreviations: M – Male, F – Female, R – Right handed, L – Left handed, Mi – Mixed handedness.
