"Objectives To assess the reproducibility and validity of the 6-minute walk test (6MWT) with gas collection, and to evaluate effectiveness of a walking program in children with cerebral palsy (CP). Design Assessment and controlled training study. Setting Rehabilitation service. Participants Children/adolescents with CP (N=24; 12 boys, 12 girls; mean age, 14.2+2.0y, Gross Motor Function Classification System levels I and II). Intervention After a cycle-ergometer stress test and the 6MWT, subjects were assigned to training (n=12, 40min of moderate walking exercise 3 times per week for 8wk) or a matched control group (n=12). Main Outcome Measures Peak oxygen consumption (V̇o2peak), peak ventilation, peak heart rate, and 6MWT distance. Results Test-retest correlations for the 6MWT were good (V̇o2peak: r=.90, P<.001 intraclass correlation coefficient peak ventilation: r=".88," p icc=".83;" heart rate: distance walked: mean scores for the also closely matched corresponding cycle-ergometer data. significant improvements in v ventilation and rate were found after weeks of training> Conclusions The 6MWT appears reproducible and valid relative to cycle-ergometer assessments of cardiorespiratory responses, and offers a simple method of clinical assessment. An 8-week moderate walking program improves the cardiopulmonary fitness of children with CP, as measured by 6MWT." |
