Reliability of 4-meter and 10-meter walk tests after lower extremity surgery.
This note indexes a cited or audit-added source. It may be an original study, review, guideline, form or methods reference. Treat the specific design and the evidence below as authoritative; a source note is not automatically a primary study.

Scoped audit evidence
These are source- and component-level audit summaries as of 3 October 2026. Access and comparison scope can differ by report; none certifies every result or the underlying raw data.
Total knee arthroplasty
- access status: public_primary_body_read
Full author-posted journal PDF.47 TKA and19 THA among102; postoperative days3–4. TKA/THA subgroup estimates exist. Several SEM/SRD pairs fail to reproduce under printed formula; no deployment endorsement.
Source locator: Methods pp2573–2574; Tables2–3 p2574; Discussion p2575
Limitations: Original copy inspected for the specified claims. Access does not itself validate clinical extrapolation. Article access does not prove every table/figure/supplement was examined. Use the claim ledger and explicit source locators; do not count this inventory as a complete assertion-level audit.
Total hip arthroplasty
- current access class: original_body_or_pdf_available
- source version note: Version and incomplete-table limitations preserved in evidence notes.
Among 102 surgical inpatients, 19 had THA. Testing was on postoperative day 3 or 4, twice on the same day by one examiner, with rest as needed. Fast walking used the central 4 m of an 8 m path and central 10 m of a 20 m path; all patients used walkers or crutches. THA Table 2: 4 MWT ICC 0.97 (0.93–0.99), SEM 1.2 s, reported SRD95 3.6 s. THA Table 3: 10 MWT ICC 0.96 (0.91–0.98), SEM 3.5 s, reported SRD95 9.7 s. These are elapsed-time errors, not m/s. The 4 MWT SRD does not reconcile with the displayed SEM under the stated formula; the THA 10 MWT value does.
Source locator: Original author-posted journal PDF: Methods/Measurements and Statistical analysis p 2573; Tables 2–3 p 2574 (PDF page 4 visually inspected); Discussion p 2575
Limitations: New supplemental evidence, not a correction of an originally cited THA source. Mixed surgery cohort; THA indication, approach and subgroup weight-bearing restrictions are not sufficiently specified for primary elective OA transport. Small THA subgroup and same-day design. THA 4 MWT SRD computation remains unresolved; source also alternates 1.95 and 1.96 and has a pooled 10 MWT SEM/SRD inconsistency. No patient-valued MIC or between-day deployment threshold established. Substantive original material obtained; this is not proof of original report author access or every table/supplement being inspected.
Targeted evidence additions
Scope: new audit supplemental evidence; not cited or named in any of the four original THA reports
These additions came from bounded source tracing, not a systematic update proving complete literature coverage.
