Results of a one-way analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) for group differences with pre-intervention assessment (week 0) as covariate; mean differences represent the differences between the estimated means post-intervention (week 6) and estimated means pre-intervention (week 0). * indicates significant differences. Abbreviations: n = number of participants included in the analysis. SD = standard deviation; CI: Confidence Interval. # collected during two trials of 3 minute overground walking. Some participants were excluded from the analysis due to missing data resulting from: A an inability to perform the test or B technical issues.
