Purpose To evaluate the psychometric properties of the Arabic version of the Activities-Specific Balance Confidence Scale using the 5-option response categories for individuals with lower limb amputation (ABC-5/Ar). Materials and methods This was a methodological study on a convenience sample of individuals with unilateral lower-limb amputation attending outpatient rehabilitation centres in Saudi Arabia and Turkey (N = 155). Rasch analysis (WINSTEPS version 4.6.5) was used to examine the 5-categories rating scale structure, item fit, item difficulty hierarchy, person separation index, unidimensionality, local item dependency, and differential item functioning. Results The ABC-5/Ar 5-response option demonstrated an appropriate model fit. Most items fit the Rasch model, except for item #12 “walk in a crowded mall,” which showed an overfitting value of 0.63. The person separation indices 2.95 (Cronbach’s α = 0.96). Principal component analysis of residuals confirmed the unidimensionality of the scale; however, local dependency was detected between item #14 “Ride in escalator holding rail,” and item #15 “Ride in escalator not holding rail.” Conclusions The findings suggest that the ABC-5/Ar shows promise in assessing balance confidence in Arabic-speaking lower-limb prosthesis users. However, further studies with larger sample sizes and in diverse clinical contexts are needed to confirm its effectiveness in various clinical settings.
