Overview
Brief Summary
The six minutes stepper test (6MST) was used assess exercise capacity of individuals having different chronic conditions. In the literature, there are some validation studies analyzing validity of 6MST. In this study, the main aim was to analyse validation of 6MST in hypertensive individuals.
Detailed Description
6MST is a space-safe, feasible and sensitive test to assess exercise capacity. In the literature, there are lots of field tests assessing exercise capacity of individuals with chronic status. But common field tests eg 6MWT requires long spaces and it could become an important barrier in clinical settings. Hypertension is a common chronic disease and hypertensive individuals are important candidates of cardiac rehabilitation. As an important outcome assesing exercise capacity are very important before and after cardiac rehabilitation. In this study, the main aim was to investigate reliability and validity of 6MST in systemic hypertension.
