Objectives
To establish reference values for the 2-minute walk test (2-MWT) distance and gait speed in people with a lower limb amputation (LLA) who are prosthetic ambulators. Also, to describe the differences in distance and gait speed between sexes, causes of amputation, levels of amputation, health risk classification, functional levels, and age groups. Design Cross-sectional study. Setting National meeting for people with lower limb amputation. Participants A convenience sample of unilateral people (N=101; 47 men, 54 women; mean age ± SD, 50.9±14.3 y) with an LLA; 48 had a transtibial amputation and 53 had a transfemoral amputation. Participants were classified as either limited community ambulators, community ambulators, or those who exceed basic ambulation skills (K2, n=7; K3, n=70; K4, n=24). Intervention Not applicable. Main Outcome Measure 2-MWT performance (ie, distance and gait speed). Results The mean ± SD 2-MWT distance and gait speed for the entire sample was 143.8±37.5 meters (range, 49-259 m) and 72.1±18.8 meters per minute (range, 25-130 m/min), respectively. Men walked farther (distance: men, 154.2±34.2 m; women, 134.4±38.1 m) and faster (gait speed: men, 77.3±17.1 m/min; women, 67.4±19.1 m/min) than women (P<.05 the mean sd distance for k4 k3 and k2 level participants was meters respectively. functional performed better than people with transtibial amputation walked farther those transfemoral m vs speed ambulated by classified in very high health risk group worse categorized as being at an increased no increase performance of older years old inferior to all younger age groups.> Conclusions Reference values for the 2-MWT distance and gait speed were established in people with LLA who are prosthetic ambulators. Significant differences in the 2-MWT performance were found between sexes, causes of amputation, levels of amputation, health risk classification, functional levels, and age groups. |
