Abstrakt: Background: Patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) often present with dyspnea, fatigue, and desaturation. These symptoms can be highly limiting, as they lead to a decrease in performing activities of daily living (ADL). Therefore, it is essential to evaluate the degree of functional limitation of these individuals.
Objective: The present study aimed to evaluate the validity and reliability of the Glittre-ADL test (TGlittre) and its association with self-reported limitation in ADL and health-related quality of life (HRQoL) in patients with IPF.
Methods: Twenty-seven individuals with IPF (60.5 ± 10.6 years), with forced vital capacity 2.26 ± 1.03 L (51.09 ± 20.62% of predicted) were assessed for the time spent in TGlittre, 6-minute walking distance (6MWD), limitation in ADL and HRQoL.
Results: TGlittre was reliable (intraclass correlation coefficient 3,1  = 0.96; P < .001); however, a learning effect of 10.6% was observed between the first and second execution of TGlittre. The time spent in TGlittre correlated with 6MWD, limitation in ADL, and disease-specific HRQoL (P < .05).
Conclusion: TGlittre is valid and reliable for assessing functional capacity in patients with IPF. Still, it presents a learning effect and should be performed twice when assessing functional capacity in clinical practice.
