Peer reviewedLong, R. G.; And Others – Journal of Visual Impairment and Blindness, 1990
The study assessed variations in the indoor and outdoor locomotor mobility of 22 low-vision adults, under normal and reduced illumination. Subjects' visual fields and contrast sensitivities accounted for 39 percent of the variation in mobility performance, whereas their visual acuities were not related to mobility performance.

Peer reviewedDodds, Allan G.; Davis, Denis P. – International Journal of Rehabilitation Research, 1987
To develop a battery of tasks to predict and improve mobility performance, a series of functional vision tasks (texural shearing, degraded images, embedded figures, and parafoveal attention) were generated by a microcomputer. Sixty visually impaired subjects given either computerized task training or real-life training improved their low vision…
