Reference for Yoma 156:5
תנו רבנן תינוקות מותרין בכולן חוץ מנעילת הסנדל מאי שנא נעילת הסנדל דאמרי אינשי עבדו ליה הנך נמי אמרי אינשי עבדו ליה רחיצה וסיכה אימר מאתמול עבדי ליה
Did not Rabbah B'Bar Hanah tie a cloth around his legs and thus go forth? Furthermore, since the conclusion [of that teaching] reads: 'If it [the artificial leg] has a receptacle made of pads, it is capable of acquiring ritual uncleanness',<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' V. loc. cit.');"><sup>4</sup></span> it follows that the first portion deals with a wooden leg without such pads? - Rather, said Raba: In truth, all agree that an artificial leg is not considered a shoe, but in the case of the Sabbath they differ on the following point: One Master holds, We decree [the prohibition for fear] it may fall off and cause him to carry it four cubits in a public thoroughfare;<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' The minimum constituting a transgression of the prohibition to carry anything in a public thoroughfare. No minimum is necessary for transferring an object from a private to public thoroughfare and vice versa.');"><sup>5</sup></span>
