    Discharge motor FIM scores and 95% confidence intervals for patients with knee and hip replacement discharged from SNFs and IRFs, adjusted for patient differences. *Model 1b is the flip side of model

    Discharge motor FIM scores and 95% confidence intervals for patients with knee and hip replacement discharged from SNFs and IRFs, adjusted for patient differences. *Model 1b is the flip side of model 1a shown in table 6. Model 1b forces in the all-SNF variable and uses IRF as the reference group. Model 2 based on table 7 is not shown because it includes no setting effects (setting effect obscured by therapy intensity). Abbreviations: med., medium; vol., volume.
