The 12-item Prosthetic Mobility Questionnaire was administered to 148 Slovene adults (74% men) with unilateral lower-limb amputation since &gt;12 months and regularly wearing a prosthesis. The psychometric analysis included classical test theory methods and Rasch models. Rasch analysis disclosed two pairs of locally dependent items (same task but in opposite directions: walk up\/down stairs; walk up\/down a hill). Thus, we devised a new version (PMQ 2.0) assessing all 12 Prosthetic Mobility Questionnaire items but calculating the global score on only 10, i.e. considering\u2013for each pair of locally dependent items\u2013just the item with worst performance. The PMQ 2.0 demonstrated correct functioning of rating scale categories, construct validity (item fit, hierarchy of item difficulties), convergent validity, high-reliability indices and unidimensionality. In conclusion, the new 10-item PMQ 2.0 shows good reliability and validity, and an excellent overall metric quality for measuring perceived mobility capabilities in people with lower-limb amputation.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1097\/mrr.0000000000000354","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2019,5,6]],"date-time":"2019-05-06T18:08:36Z","timestamp":1557166116000},"page":"263-269","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":18,"title":["The
