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 کاملIncremental shuttle walk test: Reference values and predictive equation for healthy Indian adults.
PURPOSE Physical inactivity in Indians is leading to an increase in noncommunicable disorders at an early age in life. Early identification and quantification of the lack of physical activity using simple and reliable exercise testing is the need of the hour. The incremental shuttle walk test (ISWT) is an externally paced walk test widely used for the evaluation of exercise capacity. Currently ...
متن کاملReference values for the incremental shuttle walk test in healthy subjects: from the walk distance to physiological responses *,**
OBJECTIVE To determine reference values for incremental shuttle walk distance (ISWD) and peak physiological responses during the incremental shuttle walk test (ISWT), as well as to develop a series of predictive equations for those variables in healthy adults. METHODS We evaluated 103 healthy participants > 40 years of age (54 women and 49 men). We fitted each participant with a gas analysis ...

BackgroundThe Incremental Shuttle Walking Test (ISWT) is used to assess exercise capacity in 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 (MCID) for the ISWT. Methods – 372 patients (205 male) performed an ISWT before and after a 7 week outpatient ...
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...
