The utility of subjective measures of physical function as discriminative, evaluative and predictive tools in patients with ESRD is accepted, but objective performance tests also provide valuable information on patient status. The aims of this study were to determine what objective physical limitations exist in a select group of dialysis patients, designated as 'high-functioning' on the basis that they had low comorbidity and subjectively perceived themselves to function well, and to examine relationships between the objective and subjective measures.
