Responsiveness and Minimal Clinically Important Difference of the 6-minute Walk Distance in Patients Undergoing Lumbar Spinal Canal Stenosis Surgery

Conclusions:

Both the internal and the external responsiveness of the 6MWD were validated using the ODI. Therefore, the MCID in the 6MWD in patients undergoing LSS surgery ranges from 50 to 105.9 m.

Level of Evidence:
