Minimum 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 کاملThe incremental shuttle walking test in elderly people with chronic airflow limitation.
BACKGROUND There is a concern that comorbidity or frailty in older people could limit the usefulness of currently available exercise tests for chronic lung disease. This study evaluated the feasibility and reproducibility of the incremental shuttle walking test (SWT) in people aged 70 years or over, compared exercise tolerance with other disability markers, and assessed whether the SWT is respo...
متن کاملMinimum clinically important difference for the COPD Assessment Test: a prospective analysis.
BACKGROUND The COPD Assessment Test (CAT) is responsive to change in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). However, the minimum clinically important difference (MCID) has not been established. We aimed to identify the MCID for the CAT using anchor-based and distribution-based methods. METHODS We did three studies at two centres in London (UK) between April 1, 2010, and D...
متن کاملPeak exercise capacity estimated from incremental shuttle walking test in patients with COPD: a methodological study
BACKGROUND In patients with COPD, both laboratory exercise tests and field walking tests are used to assess physical performance. In laboratory tests, peak exercise capacity in watts (W peak) and/or peak oxygen uptake (VO2 peak) are assessed, whereas the performance on walking tests usually is expressed as distance walked. The aim of the study was to investigate the relationship between an incr...
