Article Synopsis
- The Prosthetic Limb Users Survey of Mobility (PLUS-M) was translated and culturally adapted into Brazilian Portuguese to evaluate mobility among prosthesis users, as it had not been previously available in that language.
- The study followed international standards for translation and examined the PLUS-M’s validity and reliability by correlating it with established mobility tests, showing strong correlations with the 2-Minute Walk Test and health survey scores.
- Results indicated that the adapted PLUS-M/BR-12 is a valid and reliable tool for assessing mobility in Brazilian adults with lower limb amputations, making it useful for clinical settings.
