Hematological and hemorheological Determinants of the Six-Minute Walk Test Performance in Children with Sickle Cell Anemia
The six-minute walk test is a well-established submaximal exercise reflecting the functional status and the clinical severity of sickle cell patients. The aim of the present cross-sectional study was to investigate the biological determinants of the six-minute walk test performance in children with sickle cell anemia. Hematological and hemorheological parameters, pulmonary function and the six-...
متن کاملPhysical activity level and performance in the six-minute walk test of children and adolescents with sickle cell anemia
BACKGROUND To establish determinants of maximum walking distance in the 6-minute walk test of children and adolescents with sickle cell anemia, and to compare the performance in this test with physical activity level between patients and healthy controls. METHODS A cross-sectional study was performed in which the participants answered the Physical Activity Questionnaire for Older Children and...
متن کاملLung function and six-minute walk test performance in individuals with sickle cell disease
BACKGROUND Sickle Cell Disease (SCD), which is characterized by a mutation in the gene encoding beta hemoglobin, causes bodily dysfunctions such as impaired pulmonary function and reduced functional capacity. OBJECTIVE To assess changes in pulmonary function and functional capacity in patients with SCD and to identify the relationships between these variables. METHOD We evaluated sociodemog...
متن کاملEvaluation of functional capacity for exercise in children and adolescents with sickle-cell disease through the six-minute walk test.
OBJECTIVE To evaluate lung functional capacity (FC) for physical exercise in children and adolescents with sickle cell disease (SCD) through the six-minute walk test (6MWT). METHOD A cross-sectional prospective study was performed to evaluate the FC of 46 patients with SCD through the 6MWT. The following parameters were assessed: heart rate (HR), respiratory rate (RR), peripheral pulse oxygen...
متن کاملThe six-minute walk test.
The American Thoracic Society has issued guidelines for the 6-minute walk test (6MWT). The 6MWT is safer, easier to administer, better tolerated, and better reflects activities of daily living than other walk tests (such as the shuttle walk test). The primary measurement is 6-min walk distance (6MWD), but during the 6MWT data can also be collected about the patient's blood oxygen saturation and...
