Fig 1 Cumulative percentage of patients (N=116) achieving independent ambulation at various time intervals postinjury. At 5.1 months, 85 patients were independent ambulators. Archives of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation 2004 85, 865-869DOI: (10.1016/j.apmr.2003.11.020)
Fig 2 Probability of achieving independent ambulation for patients who were still dependent in ambulation at various intervals postinjury. ∗Number of patients not reaching independent ambulation at respective times postinjury.

Fig 3 Time to achieve independent ambulation in relation to duration of unconsciousness. Duration of unconsciousness: <1wk, n=62; 1–3wk, n=7; >3wk, n=4; missing data on 12 (ANOVA, P<.0001). Error bars equal SD. Archives of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation 2004 85, 865-869DOI: (10.1016/j.apmr.2003.11.020)
