Data are shown as median (IQR). mRS, modified Rankin scale; BI, Granger modified Barthel Index; FMA, Fugl-Meyer Assessment; FAC, the Functional Ambulation Categories; CAHAI, Chedoke Arm and Hand Activity Inventory; MAS, Modified Ashworth Scale; NA, not applicable. Every scale shows the Median and IRQ Differences were assessed with a Friedman test:
*
p < 0.05,
**
p < 0.01.
Statistically significant differences are highlighted in bold.
