The 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...

متن کاملPrognostic value of six minute walk test in cystic fibrosis adults.
BACKGROUND The 6 min walk test (6MWT) provides prognostic information in various respiratory diseases, but limited data exist in cystic fibrosis (CF) adults. METHODS Consecutive CF adults who performed 6MWT at Cochin Hospital (Paris, France) over 12 years were analyzed.

متن کاملIdiopathic pulmonary fibrosis: prognostic value of changes in physiology and six-minute-walk test.
RATIONALE AND HYPOTHESIS Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis is a fatal disease with a variable rate of progression. We hypothesized that changes in distance walked and quantity of desaturation during a six-minute-walk test (6MWT) would add prognostic information to changes in FVC or diffusing capacity for carbon monoxide. METHODS One hundred ninety-seven patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis...
