Reproducibility of 6-minute walking test in patients with COPD.
The reproducibility of the 6-min walking test (6MWT) needs to be more solidly studied. This study aimed to investigate the reproducibility of two 6MWTs performed on subsequent days in a large and representative sample of patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), and to quantify the learning effect between the two tests, as well as its determinants. In a retrospective observati...
متن کاملReproducibility of cadence-free 6-minute step test in subjects with COPD.
BACKGROUND Six-minute step test (6MST) has been used to assess functional capacity in chronic conditions; however, its reproducibility in the COPD population has not been evaluated. Our study objective was to evaluate 6MST reproducibility. METHODS The test was performed in a single 20-cm height step, and subjects were instructed to step up and down (cadence-free) for 6 min. Subjects underwent...
متن کامل[Evaluation exercise tolerance in COPD patients: the 6-minute walking test].
Dyspnea brought on by exercise is one of the basic symptoms of patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). It appears in the initial phases of the disease, affects activities of daily living,1 and determines, to a large extent, the perception of the degree of illness and extent of deterioration in quality of life. Tolerance to exercise in these patients is an indicator of severi...
متن کاملReproducibility of the Self-Controlled Six-Minute Walking Test in Heart Failure Patients
INTRODUCTION The six-minute walk test (6WT) has been proposed to be a submaximal test, but could actually demand a high level of exercise intensity from the patient, expressed by a respiratory quotient >1.0, following the guideline recommendations. Standardizing the 6WT using the Borg scale was proposed to make sure that all patients undergo a submaximal walking test. PURPOSE To test the repr...
متن کاملAsynchronous thoraco-abdominal motion contributes to decreased 6-minute walk test in patients with COPD.
BACKGROUND Abnormal thoraco-abdominal motion may contribute to exercise limitation in patients with COPD. The current study aimed to assess how the thoraco-abdominal asynchrony in COPD patients correlates with exercise performance during the 6-minute walk test (6MWT). METHODS Eighty-eight COPD subjects (40 moderate and 48 severe) and 14 healthy controls were evaluated at rest and during the 6...
