Sedentary behavior Mdn [IQR]

Length of sedentary bouts (∆ min) 4.89 [1.81, 8.70] 4.68 [2.16, 12.86] X2 F(1) = 0.102, p = 0.750 0.007
Physical activity Mdn [IQR]
Number of steps (∆ #) 92.04 [35.47, 181.61] 78.96 [35.12, 199.40] X2 F(1) = 0.868, p = 0.352 −0.114
Total time in MVPA (∆ min) 1.64 [0.60, 3.29] 1.33 [0.57, 2.90] X2 F(1) = 0.012, p = 0.914 0.066

Notes: The four accelerometric parameters recorded in the patients and their partners were transformed into couple-specific hourly performance ratios (∆, ie, absolute deviations). Data are presented as medians (Mdn) and interquartile ranges (IQR). There were no significant changes from pre-arthroplasty to post-arthroplasty condition (p ≥ 0.205).
