| Methods | RCT Mobility CCT versus upper limb CCT | |
| Participants | 63 participants (Group 1 = 32, Group 2 = 31), mean 5.1 years post‐stroke, mean age 65.3 years, able to walk 10 metres independently with or without gait aids | |
| Interventions | Group 1: mobility‐related CCT and fitness training Group 2: upper limb‐related CCT | |
| Outcomes | 6mWT, BBS, VO2max, knee extension strength (dynamometer), PASIPD, proximal femur BMD | |
| Notes | ||
| Risk of bias | ||
| Bias | Authors' judgement | Support for judgement |
| Adequate sequence generation? | Low risk | Drawing ballots |
| Allocation concealment? | Low risk | Ballots drawn by person not involved with enrolment, screening or outcome assessments |
| Blinding? All outcomes | Low risk | Research personnel who performed outcome assessments were blinded to group assignment |
| Incomplete outcome data addressed? All outcomes | Low risk | Similar small amount of missing data across groups Missing data imputed from baseline values and intention‐to‐treat analysis used |
| Free of selective reporting? | Unclear risk | This study was reported in at least 3 separate papers all including different outcome measures |
| Free of other bias? | Low risk | Adequate sample size |
