BACKGROUND: Objective physical performance-based outcome measures (PerBOMs) are essential tools for the holistic management of people who have had an amputation due to vascular disease. These people are often non-ambulatory, however it is currently unclear which PerBOMs are high quality and appropriate for those who are either ambulatory or non-ambulatory. RESEARCH QUESTION: Which PerBOMs have appropriate clinimetric properties to be recommended for those who have had amputations due to vascular disease ('vascular amputee')? DATA SOURCES: MEDLINE, CINAHL, EMBASE, EMCARE, the Cochrane Library, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (CENTRAL) and Scopus databases were searched for the terms: "physical performance" or "function", "clinimetric properties", "reliability", "validity", "amputee" and "peripheral vascular disease" or "diabetes"...
