Laterality of Poststroke Cortical Motor Activity during Action Observation Is Related to Hemispheric Dominance

Table 1

Demographics of participants. Fugl-Meyer Assessment, Upper Extremity (FMA-UE; out of 66 points) and Wolf Motor Function Test (WMFT; out of 5 points). Stroke location was characterized as either internal capsule only (IC) or internal capsule plus cerebral cortex (C + IC). “--” indicates missing values.
