Measurement Properties and Minimal Detectable Change of the 6‐Min Step Test for Estimating Cardiorespiratory Fitness in Hospitalized Individuals After Stroke
The 6-min step test demonstrated appropriate test-retest and inter-rater reliability. Agreement with the 6-min walk test was imprecise, which may reflect the greater physical demand of the 6-min-step test. Further studies are needed to examine the relationship between the 6-min-step test and maximal cardiorespiratory capacity.
