Answers to common MPK questions
Activity Levels.
Your activity level (or “mobility grade”) is a number between 1 and 4 that indicates your overall physical condition and potential for benefiting from various prosthesis options. Your prosthetist will assess your activity level and use it to set therapy goals and determine which solution is most likely to maximize your mobility and quality of life.
