Abstract
|
|
|
|
Six minute walk test (6MWT) is a simple method for evaluating functional capacity, comparing efficacy of various cardio-pulmonary interventions, and predicting the prognosis in patients with respiratory disease. This test is relatively safe with submaximal exercise level. The 6MWT evaluates the global response of all the multi-organ systems during the exercise. However, in cases of exercise limitation, it does not provide specific mechanism of functional changes. To maintain standardization between different centers, technicians should be trained based on the standard protocol.
