About the research: This paper validates the Pictorial Prosthetic Mobility Evaluation Questionnaire (PMEQ) — an innovative, image-based tool that helps clinicians assess how well transtibial prosthetic users are able to move and function.

By using pictures rather than text-heavy rating scales, the PMEQ makes evaluation more visual, intuitive, and accessible for all patients. The Rasch analysis confirms the questionnaire’s strong psychometric properties, establishing it as a valid, reliable, and clinically useful outcome measure for Prosthetics and Orthotics practice and research.
