Functional physical capacity measured by the 6 minute walk test and the role of lung function, fatigue and dyspnea as predictors within the period of in-patient pulmonary rehabilitation
Samenvatting
The 6-Minute-Walk-Test (6MWT) is used in clinical practice and clinical trials of lung diseases to measure the functional physical capacity; however, it is not clear whether there are influencing variables. We analyzed the values of 6MWT, Borg dyspnea pre- and post 6MWT, lung function tests and the checklist individual strength – fatigue of 126 patients which where admitted to the Nederlands Astma Centrum Davos to check their relation. Three moments of measurement were chosen to get a better view on progress in our study group.
