- Levels of six persons with a bilateral amputation are: 1 bilateral transfemoral, 2 bilateral transtibial, right transtibial with left midfoot, 1 bilateral ankle disarticulation, and 1 bilateral midfoot
- IQR = interquartile range; kg = kilogram; cm = centimeter; m = meter. Valid observations = number of participants answering the question, SD = Standard Deviation
- *Reasons of amputation in unilateral cases
- #Only diseases frequently report (> 1) were mentioned in the table.
