External validation of the smartphone-based 6-minute walking test in patients with degenerative lumbar disorders undergoing epidural steroid injection
This external validation in a patient cohort with DLD, which was managed conservatively, confirms the reliability and content validity of the 6WT with similar PCCs with PROMs compared to the original surgical cohort. The results confirm the 6WT as a valid and useful tool for assessing OFI in patients with DLD and a broad range of functional restrictions in an outpatient setting.
