Change in QMT during 2 weeks (paralytic limb)	0.98 (0.212-4.611)	0.981
Change in QMT during 2 weeks (non-paralytic limb)		12.710 (1.722-120.520)	0.017

OR, odds ratio; CI, confidence interval; QMT, quadriceps muscle thickness

Model 1: Adjusted for age, stroke type, cerebral infarction, National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale on admission, length of rehabilitation days, and change in QMT during two weeks; Model 2: Adjusted for age, stroke type, cerebral infarction, National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale on admission, length of rehabilitation days, and change in QMT during two weeks (non-paralytic limb)
