结局指标
主要结局
2-minute step test
时间窗: 2 hours
The distance from the iliac crest to the midpoint of the patella was measured by a tape to determine the knee-stepping height. The midpoint of the distance between these two anatomical structures was determined. The height of the determined point from the ground was measured and marked on the wall. The participant was asked to begin stepping as quickly as possible to reach the marked height for two minutes. The total number of correct dominant side steps was recorded. If any of the participant's steps (right or left) did not reach the target height, those steps were considered invalid.
