Data are mean (Standard Deviation) or n (%)

* Some participants used the armrests to stand during the FTSST

** Adjusted difference for quantitative variable / Odd Ratio (OR) for qualitative variable

For quantitative variables, data are difference and SE (linear mixed model, adjusted on baseline value and with center as random effect), for qualitative variables, data are OR (generalised linear mixed models with center as random factor)
