Expanding the indications for measurement of objective functional impairment in spine surgery: A pilot study of four patients with diseases affecting the spinal cord

• The TUG test and the 6WT are feasible to apply in ambulatory patients with spinal cord affection. • The objective measurement of functional impairment resembled the functional status of four patients in this pilot study. • The TUG test and the 6WT may detect and quantify functional decline and/or...

description • The TUG test and the 6WT are feasible to apply in ambulatory patients with spinal cord affection. • The objective measurement of functional impairment resembled the functional status of four patients in this pilot study. • The TUG test and the 6WT may detect and quantify functional decline and/or improvement resulting from spinal cord affection. • Modern smartphone app-based technology may help to accurately quantify impairment, which is key for decision-making and evaluating the efficacy of interventions.
