This study examined the relationship between daily steps and performance on the TUG and L-test in adults with transtibial amputation. Moderate correlations were found, supporting the use of these clinical tests as indicators of real-world mobility and informing rehabilitation strategies.
Learning Objectives:
Describe the importance of clinical-based functional mobility outcome measure in practice.
Understand the correlation between free-living mobility and functional mobility tests.
Appreciate the use of wearable technologies in O&P practice.
