^†Correlation analyses of the overall time period. Correlation analyses of 1-3 months. Correlation analyses of 4-6 months. Correlation analyses of >6 months. FMA-UE indicates the Fugl-Meyer assessment for the upper extremity; ARAT indicates the action research and action test; WAB-AQ indicates the Western Aphasia Battery-Aphasia Quotient. . The correlation coefficients are corrected for age, education, and duration poststroke.
