  1. Values are presented as mean ± SD. All patients needed to use a walker in order to perform mobility tests, like TUG and the 5-m walk. An asterisk (*) indicates that the patient was unable to accomplish a given test at baseline evaluation. Mean values for performance tests were calculated only on available data. Density represents the proportion of total active time on total time of therapy for all sessions. Immob. Syndrome is for Immobilization Syndrome. Femoral amput. is for Femoral Amputation.
