The sample included 62 male participants (86%), and 58 participants (81%) had transtibial amputation. The average age of participants was 65 (8.9) years, and for 49 participants (70%), the amputation was over 24 months ago. The total mean Standard Deviation (SD) Physical Activity Scale for the Elderly score was 153.2 (88.3), with scores of 148.1 (11.4) and 184.5 (24.7) for male and female participants, respectively.
