Fig. 2

Changes of Modified Rankin Scale Scores from baseline to 6th month. A negative value indicates that the patient's function has improved, meaning the 6th-month score is lower than the baseline, showing an improvement in the patient’s condition during this period. A positive value indicates that the patient's function has deteriorated, as the 6th-month score is higher than the baseline, indicating a decline in physical function. The figure shows the distribution based on proportional changes, with missing color blocks representing 0%
