Sydney Stroke Study (SSS)
The participants in the SSS were aged 49 to 87 years, and had no history of neurologic disorders prior to their stroke. The patients were assessed within a week of their hospitalisation, and then followed up between 3 and 6 months. Approximately 170 patients were recruited into the study, with almost 100 healthy control participants.
