  1. LR likelihood ratio, PEQ-MS Prosthesis Evaluation Questionnaire-Mobility Subscale, 10mWT 10-m Walk Test, 6MWT 6-min Walk Test, m meters, sec seconds
  2. Pre-test probability of sample was 66%
  3. †Ranges from 0 to infinity. Larger values indicate usefulness of measure in classifying adults at risk of sedentarism post-LLA
  4. ‡Ranges from 0 to 1. Smaller values indicate usefulness of measure in classifying adults not at risk of sedentarism post-LLA
  5. §Probability an adult post-LLA is at risk of being sedentary given a test score at or below determined cut-point for PEQ-MS, 10mWT, 6MWT, and at or above determined cut-point for L-Test
  6. ¶Probability an adult post-LLA is not at risk of being sedentary given a test score at or above determined cut-point for PEQ-MS, 10mWT, 6MWT and at or below determined cut-point for L-Test
