Abstract
An individual’s functional vision may be measured via visual assessment and performance on mobility tasks. Since traditional mobility performance tests neglect to examine the effects of illumination on performance, the multi-luminance mobility test (MLMT) was designed to quantitatively assess the effects of illumination levels on an individual’s mobility performance. In this chapter, we describe how the MLMT is conducted and scored in order to properly evaluate a participant’s mobility under various light conditions.
