  1. *Missing, n = 3. We did not calculate for any ethnical differences. **X2 and Mann-Whitney U test
  2. Due to rounding of decimals, the total sum is lower than 100%. §SIS=Stroke Impact Scale (the higher proportion, the lower impact on strength/cognitive difficulties). | |GSE = General Self-Efficacy Scale (=higher score indicate higher sense of general self-efficacy). #GDS = Geriatric Depression Scale
