Values are expressed as mean ± standard deviation. The independent t-test and chi-squared tests are used to compare the dependent variables between the two groups. EMG-PTG, electromyography-triggered pedaling training group; TPTG, traditional pedaling training group; MMSE, mini-mental state examination; MBI, modified Barthel index.
