| Popis: | Dalgas U, Severinsen K, Overgaard K. Relations between 6 minute walking distance and 10 meter walking speed in patients with multiple sclerosis and stroke. Objective To investigate the relationship between a short walking test and a long walking test in patients with walking disability due to multiple sclerosis (MS) or stroke. Design Cross-sectional observational study. Setting University hospital and sport science department. Participants Patients with MS (n=38), patients with stroke (n=48), and healthy subjects (n=46). Patients were participants in other clinical trials. Interventions Not applicable. Main Outcome Measure Walking speed in a 10m walk test and a 6 minute walk test was compared. Results Despite differences in absolute walking speed between long and short tests, strong correlations were found between both the tests in patients with MS ( r =.95) and in patients with stroke ( r =.94), whereas a more moderate correlation was found in healthy controls ( r =.69–.70). Conclusions Our findings show that walking speeds of a short walking test and a long walking test are strongly correlated in both patients with MS and patients with stroke, whereas correlations in healthy subjects are weaker. |
