Moseley et al [16] | Shyu et al [17] |
| Physical function | Between group differences of those with CI allocated to intervention group (significant changes in PPME) | No statistically significant results |
| ADL Ability | Significant improvements for those with CI in the intervention group were reporteda | Significant improvements for those with CI in the intervention group were reported in both studiesb |
| Mobility | Statistically significant findings in those with CI, and found statistically significant improvements for participants with CI in the intervention group compared to those in the control groupc | Participants with CI in the intervention group were more likely to recover their walking ability compared to the control groupd |
aBarthel, P=.002; PPME, P=.019
b P=.001; an increase in Barthel score for those with CI in the control and intervention group 6 months after discharge but it is unclear if this increase was statistically significant.
c P=.015
dOR=3.49, CI=1.64-7.42, P=.001
