Despite numerically greater improvements in handgrip strength, gait speed, and 6-minute walk distance in the MRP+UC group compared to usual care, none of these between-group differences in functional measures reached statistical significance.
| Effect size | handgrip change 3.6 vs 1.3 kg (p=0.20); gait speed change 0.13 vs 0.07 m/s (p=0.41); 6MWD change 40.6 vs 19.9 ft (p=0.33); SPPB change 1.1 vs 1.4 points (p=0.87) |
| Follow-up | 8 weeks |
| Comparator | Usual care physical therapy alone (LTACH PTs providing basic rehabilitation activities without systematic progression or physiologic monitoring of intensity) |
| Effect summary | null; handgrip change 3.6 vs 1.3 kg (p=0.20); gait speed change 0.13 vs 0.07 m/s (p=0.41); 6MWD change 40.6 vs 19.9 ft (p=0.33); SPPB change 1.1 vs 1.4 points (p=0.87) |
