What is Clinical Mobility Metrics Estimate and Characterize Physical Activity Following Lower-limb Amputation about?

## Abstract ## Background Regular physical activity following a lower-limb amputation is essential for maintaining health and a high quality of life. Most adults with a lower-limb amputation, however, participate in insufficient daily physical activity, and thus, are predisposed to poor health outcomes. Estimating physical activity after lower-limb amputation via common mobility metrics may aid in clinical decisions regarding treatment prioritization and prosthesis prescription. The objectives of this study were (a) to examine associations between daily physical activity and patient-reported and performance-based mobility metrics among adults with lower-limb amputation, and (b) to determine whether patient-reported and performance-based mobility metrics can distinguish between physical activity status [i.e., sedentary (< 5000 steps/day) or non-sedentary (≥ 5000 steps/day)] of adults with lower-limb amputation. ## Methods A cross-sectional study involving 35 adults with a unilateral transtibial (N = 23; 63.0 ± 10.4 years) or transfemoral amputation (N = 12; 58.8 ± 9.5 years) was conducted. Participants completed patient-reported (Prosthesis Evaluation Questionnaire-Mobility Subscale
