Fig 1 Plots of the Berg Balance Scale for NRN patients: Line plot of individual patient progress in patients with (A) AIS grade C (n=66) and (B) AIS grade D (n=130). (C) Box plot of initial and final evaluations for the full sample and by AIS grade. *Significant improvement from initial to final evaluation (Wilcoxon rank-sum test, P<.001). (D) Cumulative distribution functions (smoothed by a cubic spline) of initial and final evaluations for the full sample and patients with AIS grades C and D. Dash-dotted vertical line at Berg score of 45 indicates the threshold for fall risk, and dash-dotted horizontal lines provide the empirical cumulative distribution functions at 45.

Fig 2 Plots of the Six-Minute Walk Test for NRN patients. Line plots of individual patient progress in patients with (A) AIS grade C (n=66) and (B) AIS grade D (n=130). (C) Box plot of initial and final evaluations for the full sample and by AIS grade. *Significant improvement from initial to final evaluation (Wilcoxon rank-sum test, P<.001). (D) Cumulative distribution functions (smoothed by a cubic spline) of initial and final evaluations for the full sample and patients with AIS grades C and D. Dash-dotted vertical line at distance of 158.4m indicates a threshold equivalent to a safe speed for community ambulation (0.44m/s), and dash-dotted horizontal lines provide the empirical cumulative distribution functions at 158.4m.

Fig 3 Plots of the 10-Meter Walk Test for NRN patients. Line plots of individual patient progress in patients with (A) AIS grade C (n=66) and (B) AIS grade D (n=130). (C) Box plot of initial and final evaluations for the full sample and by AIS grade. *Significant improvement from initial to final evaluation (Wilcoxon rank-sum test, P<.001). (D) Cumulative distribution functions (smoothed by a cubic spline) of initial and final evaluations for the full sample and patients with AIS grades C and D. Dash-dotted vertical line at speed of 0.44m/s indicates a threshold equivalent to a safe speed for community ambulation, and dash-dotted horizontal lines provide the empirical cumulative distribution functions at 0.44m/s.

Fig 4 Initial versus final performance. Scatterplot of final evaluation (y-axis) against initial evaluation (x-axis) for the (A) Berg Balance Scale, (B) Six-Minute Walk Test, and (C) 10-Meter Walk Test for patients with AIS grades C (n=66) and D (n=130) enrolled in the NRN. Significant improvement from initial to final evaluation occurred for each measure (P<.001), reflected in the plot as points lying in the left upper half of the plane.
