Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. assessment of disability by examining the distribution of modified Rankin Scale (mRS) scores [scale range = 0 to 6] evaluated by shift analysis [ Time Frame: 90 days ]

Secondary Outcome Measures :
  1. proportion of subjects achieving an excellent functional outcome defined by all of the following criteria: [ Time Frame: 365 days ]
    mRS score = 0 to 1 [scale range 0 to 6]; and NIHSS score = 0 to 1 [scale range 0 to 42]; and Barthel Index score = greater than or equal to 95 [scale range 0 to 100]

  2. proportion of subjects achieving an excellent functional outcome defined by all of the following criteria: [ Time Frame: 90 days ]
    mRS score = 0 to 1 [scale range 0 to 6]; and NIHSS score = 0 to 1 [scale range 0 to 42]; and Barthel Index score = greater than or equal to 95 [scale range 0 to 100]

  3. proportion of subjects with a mRS score of less than or equal to 2 [scale range 0 to 6] demonstrating the ability to function independently [ Time Frame: 90 days ]
