I am confused with the score for body symmetry and Whisker response. By the way, I use intraluminal MACo as a model and do it on left MCA.
About the body symmetry
score 2- Moderate asymmetry: body lies on ipsi-lateral side, legs at the ischemic side are extended laterally, the tail is bent. My question is, do both ipsi-lateral side and ischemic side both mean left side or ischemic side mean right side? Since, left hemisphere controls the right part of the body.
And Whisker response
score 1- no response on the ipsi-lateral side , normal on the contra-lateral. Again, does ipsi-lateral means left side and contra-lateral means right side ?
Although listed as New Q, I had answered it couple of months back. Some works are referred again.

Acute neurological deficit, evaluated using Clark's deficit score, was significantly greater in both the general and focal scores post-MCA
