The Neurophysiological Impact of Subacute Stroke: Changes in Cortical Oscillations Evoked by Bimanual Finger Movement

Clinical data of stroke patients.

Lesion side (right/left hemisphere)4/6

WMFT log performance time ()
WMFT FAS (points; )

Abbreviations: FAS: functional ability scale; NIHSS: National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale; WMFT: Wolf Motor Function Test. The severity of the poststroke impairment increases with higher NIHSS scores, wherein a score of 0 would indicate no overall deficits and higher scores would represent greater deterioration of tested functions. WMFT scores (test described below) reflect the motor functionality of the affected upper limb. Lower performance time and higher scores in FAS are both associated with better performance.
