*
Independent life‐space (LSA‐I) is mobility achieved without the help of an assistive mobility device or another person.
**
Assisted life‐space (LSA‐A) is mobility achieved with or without the help of an assistive mobility device.
***
Maximal life‐space (LSA‐M) is mobility achieved by any means, whether that be with or without help from an assistive mobility device or another person.
SD, standard deviation.
