Characteristic	Control Group	Low Fall Risk Hemiparetic Group	Higher Fall Risk Hemiparetic Group
No. of Participants	19	9	7
Sex (female/male)	13/6	2/7	1/6
Paretic Side (right/left)	NA	6/3	4/3
Age, yr (mean ± SD)	62 ± 8	66 ± 7	59 ± 13
Time Poststroke, mo (median, range)	NA	29 (19–116)	26 (9–201)
Dynamic Gait Index score (median, range)	NA	18 (9–19)	23 (21–24)

Note: Normally distributed age data are reported as mean ± SD, while non-normally distributed time poststroke data are reported in terms of median and range.

NA = not applicable, SD = standard deviation.
