Fig. 1 Group means (▴) and individual subject data for change scores for the immediate (○) and retention (□) effects for 6 clinical lower-limb tests: (A) 6-minute walk; (B) walking speed without devices; (C) walking speed with assistive devices; (D) step test; (E) timed up and go (TUG) test; (F) sit-to-stand. Horizontal lines indicate significant differences (p ≤.05) between the groups. GRF, ground reaction force; bw, body weight.
