Characterizing Practice Effects in Performance‐Based Tests Administered to Users of Unilateral Lower Limb Prostheses: A Preliminary Study

Abstract

Performance‐based tests are viewed as a gold standard for measuring physical capability. Practice effects, however, may threaten their predictive, discriminative, and evaluative applications. Despite these potential consequences, practice effects have received limited attention in users of lower limb prostheses (LLP).
