    The document records clinical assessments of neurological symptoms for multiple patients, organized into groups A, B and C. 11 symptoms are assessed on a scale for each patient.

    The document assesses 11 neurological symptoms for each patient on a scale from 0 to 4, or in the case of aphasia on a scale from 0 to 2. The symptoms assessed are alertness, tasks, gaze, visual field loss, limb movement, limb drift, limb position, sensory loss, aphasia, dysarthria and neglect or abnormality.

    Group A shows less severe symptoms than Groups B and C overall. Group C tends to show more severe or multiple symptoms across patients compared to Groups A and B. Symptoms also seem to affect more limbs or be present in more patients in Group C.
