Concurrent validity of the 10-meter walk test as compared with the 6-minute walk test in patients with spinal cord injury at various levels of ability.

摘要

The 6MinWT is a thorough assessment to reflect functional endurance, but it requires a long time and a large area to administer. The findings confirm the utility of the 10MWT as an alternative monitoring tool to the 6MinWT, but only for the patients with rather good walking ability.
