Abstract
The 6 minute walk (6MW) correlates with age and inversely with the Cobb angle for patients with congenital scoliosis prior to spine surgical intervention. All had low 6MW values compared to age-matched norms. 6MW is useful as a serial measure of functional status for each patient over time.
