This evaluation demonstrates how the Frostig Figure Ground Test predicts reading performance in adults with low vision, suggesting its usefulness in clinical practice.
The Frostig Figure Ground Test can be a valuable tool in the evaluation of adult low‐vision patients. It is easily administered and can give valuable information about the patient's functioning. It provides an observable assessment of the individual sensory‐perceptual capacities and has the further advantage of requiring the use of eye‐hand coordination. Correlations of performance in this test with other data were analyzed for 79 low‐vision patients. The test appears to provide some predictive information about the patient's reading performance, accounting for one‐third of the variability of reading speed.
