Reinforced Feedback in Virtual Environment for Plantar Flexor Poststroke Spasticity Reduction and Gait Function Improvement

Table 1

Median (25^th—75^th percentiles) for age, months after stroke, and scores on the scales before and after the treatment are presented. Calculated differential variables are also included. Mann–Whitney’s U and Z values are indicated along with the corresponding values.
