【 摘 要 】

PurposeThe Oswestry Disability Index (ODI) plays a significant role in lumbar spinal stenosis research and is used to assess patient’s walking limitations. The World Health Organisation describes the constructs of walking capacity and performance and recommend measuring both to fully describe patient’s walking ability. Objective methods to assess walking capacity and performance is being investigated and used alongside the traditional use of PROs. This review of the literature was made to provide an overview of relations between the ODI and outcome measures of walking capacity and performance in spinal stenosis research, and to provide a strategy for improving such measures in future research.
