SHA: subarachnoid hemorrhage; other included diseases such as moyamoya disease, cerebral artery malformation, and head trauma. JASMID: Jikei Assessment Scale for Motor Impairment in Daily Living; FMA: Fugl-Meyer assessment. Data were mean and standard deviation or interquartile range (IQR). ^†Using the method described by Light et al. [12], times can then be normalized to 100, and each of the 26 tasks was classified within one of the six prehensile patterns.
