Correlation between 19 independent variables measured at baseline and the primary study outcome measure, change in gait velocity. For normally distributed variables, r is the Pearson correlation coefficient; for non-normally distributed, r is Spearman's rho. FM=Fugl-Meyer, FIM=Functional Independence Measure, SIS=Stroke Impact Scale.
