Evaluating the construct validity and test-retest reliability of the Orthotic Patient-Reported Outcomes-Mobility (OPRO-M) short forms in lower limb orthosis users.

ABSTRACT: Lower limb orthoses (LLOs) are often prescribed to facilitate mobility in individuals with functional impairments. The Orthotic Patient-Reported Outcomes - Mobility (OPRO-M) is a self-report instrument developed recently to measure LLO users' perceived mobility with an orthosis. An observational, prospective, psychometric validation study was conducted to evaluate the construct validity and test-retest reliability of the OPRO-M 12- and 20-item short forms. LLO users were recruited from orthotic clinics across the United States. Participants were administered four self-report instruments (OPRO-M, Orthotic and Prosthetic Users Survey - Lower Extremity Functional Status, Lower Extremity Functional Scale, and Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System - Physical Function) and thr
