The purpose of this study was to establish the test-retest reliability of and relationships between various measures of physical function in a cohort of individuals in the early treatment stages for head and neck cancer (HNC).
The Six-Minute Walk Test (6MWT), 10-Meter Walk Test (10MWT), 30-Second Sit to Stand (30STS), and Linear Analog Scale of Function (LASF) were administered to 42 participants with a diagnosis of HNC. Test-retest reliability and correlations between the measures are reported.
The 6MWT, 10MWT, 30STS, and LASF demonstrate excellent test-retest reliability (ICC = 0.901-0.960). The 6MWT exhibits a moderate to good relationship with the 10MWT (r = 0.684, p < 0.001), whereas the relationship between the 30STS and the 6MWT (r = 0.407, p = 0.007) and 10MWT (r = 0.322, p = 0.038) is fair. The LASF does not correlate significantly with the 6MWT, 10MWT, or 30STS.
The 6MWT, 10MWT, 30STS, and LASF are reliable measurement instruments for patients treated for HNC. The 6MWT, 10MWT, and 30STS are significantly correlated suggesting they may measure subconstructs of physical function. The LASF does not correlate significantly with the 6MWT, 10MWT and 30STS in this sample.
本研究旨在确定头颈癌（HNC）早期治疗阶段个体队列中各种身体功能测量指标的重测信度及其相互关系。
对42名诊断为HNC的参与者进行了六分钟步行试验（6MWT）、十米步行试验（10MWT）、30秒坐立试验（30STS）和功能线性模拟量表（LASF）测试。报告了这些测量指标的重测信度和相关性。
6MWT、10MWT、30STS和LASF显示出极好的重测信度（组内相关系数ICC = 0.901 - 0.960）。6MWT与10MWT呈现中度至良好的相关性（r = 0.684，p < 0.001），而30STS与6MWT（r = 0.407，p = 0.007）和10MWT（r = 0.322，p = 0.038）的相关性为中等。LASF与6MWT、10MWT或30STS无显著相关性。
6MWT、10MWT、30STS和LASF是用于HNC治疗患者的可靠测量工具。6MWT、10MWT和30STS显著相关，表明它们可能测量身体功能的不同子结构。在本样本中，LASF与6MWT、10MWT和30STS无显著相关性。
