Abbreviations: ASPECT: Alberta Stroke Program Early CT based on diffusion weighted magnetic resonance imaging (DWI MRI);TIS-modNV: Trunk Impairment Scale – modified Norwegian version. Cortical locations are insular cortex and M1 – M6, subcortical locations are caudate and lentiform nuclei, and internal capsule. Statistical test is Mann-Whitney’s U test. Significant differences in bold.
