Descriptive variables, available locomotor test data assessed during rehabilitation, and time frames relative to physical therapy discharge abstracted from the medical records. IQR=interquartile range, 10MWT=10-Meter Walk Test, 6MWT=Six-Minute Walk Test, TUGT=Timed “Up & Go” Test, FSST=Four Square Step Test.

Multifactorial Reasons for Prosthetic Nonuse Self-Reported by Participants Who Were Prosthetic Nonusers at 12 Months After Discharge From Rehabilitationa

  • ↵a Participants were able to report more than one reason for not using their prosthesis; therefore, the cumulative percentage exceeds 100.
