Field Walking Tests Are Reliable and Responsive to Exercise Training in People With Non-Cystic Fibrosis Bronchiectasis

摘要

PURPOSE: The 6-Minute Walk Test (6MWT) and Incremental Shuttle Walk Test (ISWT) are used to assess exercise capacity, but the reliability and responsiveness of these tests in individuals with non-cystic fibrosis (CF) bronchiectasis have not been determined. This study aimed to determine the reliability and responsiveness of both tests in adults with non-CF bronchiectasis.
