Objective To assess construct validity of the Prosthetic Limb Users Survey of Mobility (PLUS-M), a self-report mobility measure for people with lower limb amputation (LLA). Design Cross-sectional study. Setting Private prosthetic clinics (n=37). Participants Current lower limb prosthesis users (N=199; mean age + SD, 55.4+14.3y; 71.4% men) were assessed before receiving a replacement prosthesis, prosthetic socket, and/or prosthetic knee. Interventions Not applicable. Main Outcome Measures Convergent construct validity was examined using correlations between participants' PLUS-M T-scores and measures of physical function, mobility, and balance, including the Amputee Mobility Predictor (AMP), timed Up and Go (TUG), Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System–Physical Function (PROMIS-PF), Prosthesis Evaluation Questionnaire–Mobility Subscale (PEQ-MS), and Activities-specific Balance Confidence (ABC) Scale. Known-groups construct validity was evaluated by comparing differences in PLUS-M T-scores among participants grouped by Medicare Functional Classification Level (MFCL). Results PLUS-M T-scores demonstrated a moderate positive relationship with AMP scores (ρ=.54, P<.001 and a moderate negative relationship with tug times p the plus-m also showed strong positive peq-ms scores abc scale promis-pf t-scores significant differences in were found among groups of people classified by different mfcls.> Conclusions Study results support the validity of the PLUS-M as a self-report measure of prosthetic mobility. Correlations between PLUS-M and measures of physical function, mobility, and balance indicate convergent construct validity. Similarly, significant differences in PLUS-M T-scores across MFCL groups provide evidence of known-groups construct validity. In summary, evidence indicates that PLUS-M has good construct validity among people with LLA. |
