^§Percentages (%) are based on the actual number of participants for each variable. This actual number of participants was lower on the following variables due to missing data: cognitive function (n = 1), balance confidence (n = 2), timed mobility (n = 5), participation frequency (n = 1), and participation restriction (n = 1).
