Although the 6-Minute Walk Test (6MWT) is widely used for functional assessment, it primarily evaluates walking endurance and may not fully reflect complex ADL involving upper limb activities and postural changes. This study investigated the validity, reliability and clinical utility of the Glittre ADL test in AF.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This cross-sectional study included 39 AF patients and 39 matched healthy controls. All participants completed the Glittre ADL test. Concurrent validity was assessed using the 6MWT.
