Exploring adaptations to the modified shuttle walking test
OBJECTIVE The 10 m modified shuttle walking test (MSWT) is recommended to determine the functional capacity in older individuals and for patients entering cardiac rehabilitation. Participants are required to negotiate around cones set 1 m from the end markers. However, consistent comments indicate that for some individuals manoeuvring around the cones can be quite difficult. Therefore, the obje...
متن کاملEndurance shuttle walking test: responsiveness to salmeterol in COPD.
Few studies have shown that the endurance shuttle walking test (ESWT) is responsive to treatment in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). This exercise test needs to be further investigated because of its relevance for activity of daily living. The aim of the present study was to evaluate, in patients with COPD, the responsiveness of the ESWT in detecting improvement in wa...
متن کاملMinimum clinically important improvement for the incremental shuttle walking test.
BACKGROUND The incremental shuttle walking test (ISWT) is used to assess exercise capacity in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and is employed as an outcome measure for pulmonary rehabilitation. This study was designed to establish the minimum clinically important difference for the ISWT. METHODS 372 patients (205 men) performed an ISWT before and after a 7-week outp...
متن کاملValidity of a modified shuttle test in adult cystic fibrosis.
BACKGROUND The purpose of this study was to provide some evidence of the validity of a modified shuttle test (MST) by comparing performance on the MST with peak oxygen consumption (VO2peak) measured during a treadmill test in a group of adult patients with cystic fibrosis. METHOD Twenty patients with stable cystic fibrosis performed a ramped maximal treadmill test (STEEP protocol) and the MST...
