FAC- Functional Ambulation Categories,

FCadj FAC change adjusted by the number of gait training sessions received – adjusted mean gain in walking ability between t0(start of rehabilitation) and t1(end of inpatient rehabilitation) revealed by Analysis of Covariance (ANCOVA) using number of gait training sessions as co-variate and computation of least squares mean estimates for the classes FAC at t0,

95%CI – 95% Confidence interval for the adjusted mean FC (95%CIs for the least squares mean estimates for the classes FAC at t0),

p value- derived from ANCOVA least squares estimates for FAC at t0, *p < 0.05 and clinically relevant (minimal improvement by one FAC point),

STI ischemic stroke,

STH hemorrhagic stroke,

CIPM Critical Illness Polyneuropathy or -Myopathy
