MMSE could not be assessed in 4 CBS participants due to motor aphasia. Comparison between the two groups was performed using the unpaired -test (age, disease duration, MMSE, FIM) and chi-squared test (sex, lesion, stroke subtype). The level of statistical significance for the variables was set at .
