  Figure 3. Correlation between stroke recovery and anxiety 3- and 12-months post-stroke. Spearman’s correlation coefficient (rs) between stroke recovery and HADS-A at 3- and 12-months post-stroke. HADS-A = Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale subscale of anxiety. Correlation value interpretation: small (rs < ±0.29), medium (rs = ±0.30 to ±0.49), and large (rs = ±0.50 to ±1.0) (27).
