In this feasibility study, we demonstrated that this tool is able to measure the perioperative mobility and walking-capability. The certainty of data is dependent on the patients' compliance. The measuring method is used as a low cost, easily accessible, and easy-to-use technique, which seems to be superior to common methods like a treadmill-tests or walking tests. Nevertheless, these results are still to prove in upcoming analysis.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
