The minimal clinically important difference of the prosthesis evaluation questionnaire-mobility scale in people undergoing lower-limb prosthetic rehabilitation training.

CONCLUSIONS: The PEQ-MS showed a high ability to detect change over time (responsiveness).The above MCID value - derived from a triangulation of distribution - (MDC) and anchor-based methods - represents a minimal level of change (perceived as important by the patient) in mobility of people with LLA undergoing prosthetic rehabilitation training.
CLINICAL REHABILITATION IMPACT: The peq-ms is a widely used and analysed outcome measure. the present study calculated - in a sample of people with lla undergoing prosthetic training - both the MDC and MCID of the PEQ-MS, showing the high responsiveness of this tool. These values increase confidence in interpreting change in PEQ-MS values, and can help in clinical decision-making.
