Prescribing Aerobic Exercise Intensity without a Cardiopulmonary Exercise Test Post Stroke: Utility of the Six-Minute Walk Test
Abstract
BACKGROUND: The cardiopulmonary exercise test (CPET) is an established method for determining target exercise training intensity (ventilatory threshold [VAT]) and cardiovascular risk; unfortunately, CPET is not readily accessible to people post stroke. The objective of this study was to determine the utility of the 6-minute walk test (6MWT) as a less resource-intensive alternative to CPET for prescribing exercise intensity to people post stroke …
