The recent thread about standardisation of "the block" was brought home to
me when reading an article describing the American Orthopaedic Foot and
Ankle Society's clinical rating systems for the foot and ankle. One of the
indicators they use to rate function is:
Maximum walking distance, blocks: >6, 4-6, 1-3 and <3.
Would seem to be a methodological problem if no standard definition
applies. Is a Sydney Australia block equivalent to a Vancouver BC block.
What about those living rurally??
