OBJECTIVE: To validate the Reintegration to Normal Living Index (RNLI) in a population of community-dwelling adults with mobility limitations. DESIGN: Cross-sectional survey. SETTING: Community. PARTICIPANTS: Six hundred four people between the ages of 18 and 80 years who had a mobility limitation, lived in the community, and had been discharged from rehabilitation for at least 1 year. INTERVENTIONS: Not applicable. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURE: The RNLI. RESULTS: The RNLI is a reliable measure of community reintegration. A 2-factor structure emerged from a principal components analysis that indicates there are 2 subscales of the RNLI in a population with mobility impairments. CONCLUSIONS: The RNLI is a reliable and valid measure for studies of community integration among people living with long-term consequences of a chronic health condition.
