Background:

Meaningful measures of activity performance are crucial for individuals with upper limb amputation.
The time taken to complete daily activities is a significant indicator of participation in life roles.

Purpose of the Study:

To develop and validate the Timed Measure of Activity Performance (T-MAP) for individuals with upper limb amputation.
To assess the T-MAP's internal consistency, test-retest reliability, and construct validity.
To compare T-MAP scores based on prosthesis use and amputation level.

Main Methods:

The T-MAP was administered to 55 subjects with upper limb amputation on two occasions within one week.
Internal consistency (Cronbach's alpha = 0.77) and test-retest reliability (ICC = 0.93) were evaluated.
Construct validity was examined by comparing scores across different amputation levels and correlating with other measures.

Main Results:

The T-MAP demonstrated adequate internal consistency and excellent test-retest reliability.
Timed activity performance scores varied significantly by amputation level.
Individuals using a prosthesis required more time to complete all tasks compared to non-prosthesis users.

Conclusions:

The T-MAP is a reliable and valid measure for assessing timed activity performance in individuals with upper limb amputation.
Findings support the T-MAP's utility in outcomes research for this population.
The measure can differentiate performance based on amputation level and prosthesis use.
