External validation of the smartphone-based 6-minute walking test in patients with degenerative lumbar disorders undergoing epidural steroid injection.

Background: The 6-minute walking test (6WT) has previously shown to be reliable and valid outcome measure in patients undergoing surgery for degenerative lumbar disorders (DLD). A role of 6WT in conservatively treated patients undergoing epidural steroid injection (ESI) remains unclear.
Methods: About 50 patients with DLD, scheduled for ESI were assessed by the smartphone-based 6WT and common paper-based patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs), including the Core Outcome Measures Index [COMI] back, Oswestry Disability Index (ODI) and Short Form Survey (SF-12).

As a result of technological advancements, functional capacity assessments, such as the 6-minute walk test, can be performed remotely, at home and in the community. Current studies, however, tend to overlook the crucial aspect of data quality, often limiting their focus to idealised scenarios. Challenging conditions may arise when performing a test given the risk of collecting poor-quality GNSS signal, which can undermine the reliability of the results.

Background Context: The 6-minute walking test (6WT) has been previously shown to be a reliable and valid outcome measure. It is unclear if the 6WT may further help to detect differences in well performing patients that reach a ceiling effect in PROMs after surgery.
Purpose: To evaluate changes and timing of change in objective functional impairment (OFI) as measured with the smartphone-based 6WT in relation to patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) after surgery for degenerative lumbar disorders (DLD).
Background: Cardiac rehabilitation (CR) referral and participation are generally found to be underused worldwide. The data in Asian regions suggest significant underutilization compared with western countries.
Objectives: To promote the continuity and effects of CR, this study aimed at supporting self-care and improving CR effects in phase II CR with mobile health application for Macao patients who have undergone percutaneous coronary intervention.
