Fig. 3

Adjusted mean Stroke-Specific Quality of Life (SSQOL) scores by patient-reported spasticity presence. Significantly lower SSQOL scores were reported by survivors with spasticity than those without spasticity at 3 months (mean difference −0.20; 95 % CI −0.38 to −0.02; P = .03), at 1 year (mean difference −0.51; 95 % CI −0.70 to −0.32; P < .001), and at 2 years (mean difference −0.30; 95 % CI −0.52 to −0.09; P = .01) poststroke. Scores were adjusted for age, race, stroke severity using the retrospective National Institute of Health Stroke Scale, prestroke function using the modified Rankin Scale, and comorbidities
