fallback entries: Other and Accessories

The Personal Mobility Devices branch runs 3 levels deep. 7 entries below are branch headings that group other codes rather than naming a device, so a classification has to resolve all the way down to one of the 37 codes marked terminal.

7 terminal codes are “- Other” entries and 2 are “- Accessories” entries, 24% of the branch. An “- Other” code is the residual slot for devices its siblings do not name, so it is worth ruling out every specific sibling before settling on one.

The largest sub-branch is Y1203 (Walking Devices, One-Handed Operation), holding 8 of the 37 terminal codes.
