Comparison between the six-minute walk test and the six-minute step test in post stroke patients
(2013-08-09)
Background: The Stroke remains one of the major chronic diseases worldwide, and is considered a major cause of disability, which results not only in persistent neurological deficits, but also in the high physical deconditioning, ...
Six-minute walk test in children and adolescents with cystic fibrosis
(Wiley-Blackwell, 2006-07-01)
The 6-min walk test is a simple, rapid,and low-cost method that determines tolerance to exercise. We examined the reproducibility of the 6-min walk test in 16 children with cystic fibrosis (11 female, 5 male; age range, ...
The six-minute walk test and body weight-walk distance product in healthy Brazilian subjects
(Assoc Bras Divulg Cientifica, 2009-11-01)
We assessed the 6min walk distance (6MWD) and body weight x distance product (6MWw) in healthy Brazilian subjects and compared measured 6MWD with values predicted in five reference equations developed for other populations. ...

We assessed the 6-min walk distance (6MWD) and body weight x distance product (6MWw) in healthy Brazilian subjects and compared measured 6MWD with values predicted in five reference equations developed for other populations. ...
Diastolic function is associated with quality of life and exercise capacity in stable heart failure patients with reduced ejection fraction
(2013-09-01)
Exercise capacity and quality of life (QOL) are important outcome predictors in patients with systolic heart failure (HF), independent of left ventricular (LV) ejection fraction (LVEF). LV diastolic function has been shown ...
Diastolic function and functional capacity after a single session of continuous positive airway pressure in patients with compensated heart failure
(Universidade de São Paulo (USP), Hospital das Clínicas, 2014)
Intensity and physiological responses to the 6-minute walk test in middle-aged and older adults: a comparison with cardiopulmonary exercise testing
(Assoc Bras Divulg Cientifica, 2015-04-01)
The 6-minute walk test (6MWT) is a simple field test that is widely used in clinical settings to assess functional exercise capacity. However, studies with healthy subjects are scarce. We hypothesized that the 6MWT might ...
