Creating adjusted scores targeting mobility empowerment (CASTLE 2): Using response probabilities to expand interpretation of prosthetic limb users survey of mobility (PLUS‐M) scores for individuals with lower limb amputation

open access: yesPM&R, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Prosthetists and other rehabilitation specialists often need to identify which aspects of mobility should be prioritized in order to make meaningful changes in a patient's health outcomes. By comparing a patient's responses on the Prosthetic Limb Users Survey of Mobility (PLUS‐M) to predicted responses, clinicians can identify areas
