  2. FC FAC change- Median Gain in walking ability between t0(start of rehabilitation) and t1(end of inpatient rehabilitation),
  3. IQR interquartile range from FC,
  4. p value- derived from paired Wilcoxon test- *p < 0.05 and clinically relevant (minimal improvement by one FAC point),
  5. STI ischemic stroke,
  6. STH hemorrhagic stroke,
  7. CIPM Critical Illness Polyneuropathy or -Myopathy
