aValues are coefficients (95 % confidence intervals) from linear regression models of allocated impairment-specific exercise package vs. not allocated impairment-specific exercise package for primary outcomes at 6 weeks and 12 weeks, adjusted for baseline score, age, gender, and concurrent allocation to other impairment-specific exercise packages
-
bCoefficients additional adjusted for body mass index
