Abstract
People face a variety of challenges in their daily lives as a result of lower-limb amputation. The provision of prosthetic rehabilitation can allow mobility independence at an optimal level. Therefore the basic objective for users is to achieve functional ambulation. Mobility is considered a key determinant of quality of life (1−3). The outcome measurement tool is essential to promote evidence-based practice for clinical progress and also for the benefit of clients. The Prosthetic Limb Users Survey of Mobility (PLUS-M TM ) is a self-reported instrument to measure the mobility of adults with lower limb amputation that has been developed using modern psychometric methodology. Patient self-reported instruments are very suitable to measure the mobility of a prosthetic user as they provide unique information about a person's experiences, perceptions, and opinions directly from the patient without interpretation by the clinician or any other person involved in treatment. Currently, there are no such outcome measurement instruments in the Nepali version, and they have not been used by any clinics in Nepal. The established translation guidelines for Patient Reported Outcome (PRO) were followed, and a cognitive interview was performed as a pretest. In total, 66 participants (aged: 37±11, 45 males, 43 transtibial, 15 transfemoral, 5 knee disarticulation, 1 Syme’s) participated in the study. Internal consistency was assessed with the Cronbach alpha and test-retest reliability with ICC in 66 participants. The PLUS in a 2-week interval. Construct validity was assessed with the Pearson correlation coefficient between the PLUS-M/Nepali-12SF (PLUS-M/Nepali 12-SF) and two performance-based measurements: 2-Minute Walking Test (2MWT) and the Amputee Mobility Predictor with Prosthesis (AMPPRO). The mean (SD) PLUS-M/Nepali 12-SF T-Score was 52.9(5.65), Internal consistency was excellent with Cronbach alpha=0.90, intra-rater reliability with ICC=0.94 (95% confidence interval 0.90−0.96) showed excellent and Construct validity correlation with 2MWT was good (r=0.62, p<0.001) and with AMPPRO was highly moderate (r=0.57, p<0.001). The PLUS-M/Nepali 12-SF is a valid patient self-reported outcome measurement tool to evaluate mobility in Nepali speaking active prosthetic users with unilateral lower limb amputation. IMPLICATION OF THE THESIS. The PLUS-M/Nepali-12SF are suitable for use in clinics. In the future, the orientation of administration and scoring of PLUS-M could be done in three clinical sites of this study. It will be used to perform outcome measurements that will help the Prosthetist to know the changes in mobility in lower limb prosthetic users at different treatment durations.
