Differences in configurations of the six-minute walk test for people with Parkinson disease

When limited clinic space prevents setup of the standard 30-m configuration of the 6MWT, shortening the configuration to less than 15 meters may result in substantially smaller outcomes that are not comparable to published norms for persons with Parkinson disease.

Abstract

When limited clinic space prevents setup of the standard 30-m configuration of the 6MWT, shortening the configuration to less than 15 meters may result in substantially smaller outcomes that are not comparable to published norms for persons with Parkinson disease.
