Abstract

6 Minute Walk Test is increasingly used in clinical practice, as an objective measurement of functional status in patients with moderate to severe impairment. It is one of the simple tests of low complexity that measures the distance a patient can walk in 6 minutes. The 6MWT is useful to assess response to medical interventions, prognosis and as single measurement of functional status in cardio respiratory disability.
