Physical function at baseline and after 10 weeks.

Variables	CG ()		∆ (ES)	TG ()		∆ (ES)
	Baseline	Post		Baseline	Post
IHGPL (kgf)			-2.5 (0.3)			0.1 (-0.0)
IHGNPL (kgf)			-4.8 (0.4)			-0.4 (0.1)
10MWT (s)	14.5 (10.4–31.5)	13.5 (10.0–32.0)	0.7 (-0.1)	13.8 (10.0–42.4)	10.2 (7.9–22.2)^†	-6.4 (0.8)
Sit-to-stand (s)			-0.7 (0.3)		†	-4.4 (1.9)
TUG (s)			-0.2 (0.0)		†	-5.1 (0.7)

SD: standard deviation of the mean; ES: effect size; CG: control group; TG: training group; IHGPL: isometric handgrip of the paretic limb; IHGNPL: isometric handgrip of the nonparetic limb; 10MWT: 10-meter walking speed; TUG: timed up and go. Data are shown as or median; vs. baseline; ^† vs. CG.
