Six-minute walk work in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease
The 6-Min Walk Test (6MWT) is a simple tool for the evaluation of functional exercise capacity, which reflects the capacity of the individual to perform activities of daily living. 1,2 Demographic, anthropometric, clinical, and physiological characteristics can affect the test performance in healthy elderly subjects and in patients with cardiopulmonary diseases 3,4 and the distance walked in th...
متن کاملSildenafil improves six-minute walk distance in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease: a randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial.
BACKGROUND Sildenafil has been found to improve exercise capacity and haemodynamic parameters in patients with various pulmonary disorders. This study was undertaken to evaluate its efficacy in severe chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). METHODS In this double-blind, randomised, placebo-controlled study, 37 patients with severe COPD received either sildenafil or placebo for 12 weeks....
متن کاملCHRONIC OBSTRUCTIVE PULMONARY DISEASE Six-minute walking versus shuttle walking: responsiveness to bronchodilation in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease
Background: The responsiveness of the endurance shuttle walk to functional changes following bronchodilation has recently been reported. The current literature suggests that the 6 min walking test (6MWT) is less responsive to bronchodilation than the endurance shuttle walk. Aim: To compare bronchodilator-induced changes in exercise performance with the 6MWT and the endurance shuttle walk. Metho...
متن کامل[Six-minute-walk test and maximum exercise test in cycloergometer in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. Are the physiological demands equivalent?].
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES The physiological load imposed by the six minute walk test (SMWT) in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) patients come from small studies where the influence of disease severity has not been assessed. The aim of the present study was to compare the SMWT with an incremental cardiopulmonary exercise test (CPET) in patients classified by disease severity accordin...
متن کاملComparison of the Sit-to-stand Test with Six Minute Walk Test in Patients with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease
Background: poorly reversible airflow limitation that is usually both progressive and associated with an abnormal inflammatory response of the lung. functional status for patients with chronic respiratory disease. The 6MWT is easy to administer, well tolerated and more reflective of activities of daily life than the other walk tests and cardio stand up from a chair is an important component for...
