Table 2

Mean and SD of the dependent variables ΔVFHT-FA, ΔSSDT, GOT, and ΔVFHT-D2 for lesion site groups.

	Group	Mean	SD
ΔVFHT-FA	Pure subcortical lesion	2.58	2.26
	Any cortical involvement	4.27	2.00
∆SSDT	Pure subcortical lesion	−21.73	32.70
	Any cortical involvement	−18.93	36.74
∆GOT	Pure subcortical lesion	−0.20	0.91
	Any cortical involvement	−0.36	0.64
∆VFHT-D2	Pure subcortical lesion	−0.38	0.32
	Any cortical involvement	−0.45	1.31

ΔVFHT-FA = difference in von Frey hair testing at forearm (posttest value − pretest value); ΔSSDT = difference in shape-sorter-drum task (posttest value − pretest value); ΔGOT = difference in grating orientating task (posttest value − pretest value); ΔVFHT-D2 = difference in von Frey hair testing at the index finger (posttest value − pretest value).
