SD: standard deviation of the mean; ES: effect size; CG: control group; TG: training group; IHGPL: isometric handgrip of the paretic limb; IHGNPL: isometric handgrip of the nonparetic limb; 10MWT: 10-meter walking speed; TUG: timed up and go. Data are shown as mean ± SD or median; ∗P < 0.05 vs. baseline; †P < 0.05 vs. CG.
