The Glittre activities of daily living as a potential test for functional evaluation of patients on hemodialysis: a validation study.

CONCLUSION: The Glittre ADL-test is a reliable test associated with functional parameters and physical aspects related to health-related quality of life, with potential value in the functional evaluation of patients on hemodialysis. Implications for rehabilitation Functional impairment is a common clinical finding and is an important predictor of poor prognosis in patients on hemodialysis. The Glittre ADL-test has excellent within-day reliability and is a valid instrument for functional assessment in patients on hemodialysis. Activity limitations of patients on hemodialysis can be assessed by Glittre ADL-test.
