Estimation of minimal clinically important difference for 6‐minute walking distance in patients with acute stroke using anchor‐based methods and credibility instruments
Since the percentage of improved groups exceeded 50%, the adjusted model was useful in the anchor-based method. Therapists may not accurately capture patient fatigue and subjective symptoms, potentially affecting the correlation between the 6MWD change score and the t-GRC and, consequently, the reliability instrument. The p-GRC showed high accuracy and reliability; therefore, the MCID was estimated to be 78.7 m.
