Note: df = degrees of freedom; ANOVA = Analysis of Variance; a Locomotion (Stairs) did not have enough residents in each category to power a one-way ANOVA; p < 0.05 for mean difference between residents who are independent and residents who were completely dependent; p < 0.05 for mean difference between residents with modified independence and residents who were completely dependent; § p < 0.05 for mean difference between residents who were independent in ADL and residents with modified dependence in ADL.
