Apart from the measurement of the vital signs, evaluation of exercise performance constitutes one of the most crucial parameters in the clinical assessment of a \nobreak patient. Many different methods are currently employed by the health care providers in this regard, but most remain un-standardized and arbitrary. Generally, physicians depend on the clinical history and the information provided by the patients about their own ability to walk a certain distance or climb a certain number of steps.
