Physical activity participation amongst individuals with lower limb amputation.

This study provides clinicians with information about physical activity participation amongst individuals with lower limb amputation. The majority of participants in this study (n = 44, 61%) did not accumulate sufficient "total physical activity" to be classified as "sufficiently active" and 33% (n = 24) of participants were classified as "sedentary". Implications for Rehabilitation Regular physical activity participation is associated with many health benefits. This study found the majority of individuals with lower limb amputation (61%) did not undertake sufficient total physical activity to be classified as "sufficiently active". Health professionals working in rehabilitation can play an important role in encouraging individuals to increase physical activity participation. The study's findings may guide health professionals on where to direct their focus to promote increased physical activity participation amongst individuals with lower limb amputation.
