“…The questionnaire addresses the aspects related to the patient’s experiences in the previous month and is composed of three domains: distance (the distance that the individual is able to walk), velocity (the velocity at which the individual is able to walk), and stairs (the number of stairs the individual is able to climb). In a Brazilian sample, the WIQ showed validity and reproducibility after being translated to Portuguese 32. Its score varies from 0% to 100% in each domain, with 100% representing the best score.…”

IntroductionThe Heel-Rise Test (HRT) is a clinical instrument relevant to vascular rehabilitation that has been proposed to assess the function of the triceps surae muscle. To use HRT in the assessment of individuals with peripheral arterial occlusive disease (PAOD), its ability to detect differences in the functional performance of patients with PAOD must be verified.AimTo verify whether the test is sensitive in differentiating between individuals with PAOD with distinct functional capacities.Materials and methodsA transversal study in which individuals with PAOD were assessed using the HRT, the Walking Impairment Questionnaire (WIQ), and the Shuttle Walk Test. The following variables were analyzed: number of plantar flexions performed in the HRT (time in seconds) and velocity (plantar flexions per second) when performing plantar flexions up to the point of volunteer fatigue, maximum distance walked in the Shuttle Walk Test, and scores obtained in each WIQ domain.ResultsTwenty-five individuals (14 male) were included in the study, with a mean age of 63.36 ± 9.83 years. The variables number of plantar flexions and time to perform the HRT were sensitive enough to differentiate between distinct functional capacities in individuals with PAOD (P = 0.003 and P = 0.009, respectively). However, this result was not found for the variable of velocity in the HRT. The number of plantar flexions in the HRT was sensitive enough to differentiate individuals of extreme classes on the WIQ domain, stairs (P = 0.008).ConclusionThe HRT can be applied in clinical practice as a valid assessment of the distinct function capacities of individuals with PAOD.

“…This evaluation can be performed by determining the walking ability and/ or physical activity level. With that aim, direct measurements are obtained, such as the treadmill test or the sixminute walk test (6) , or indirect measurements, such as the use of scales that measure the distance the patient is able to walk without triggering the symptom, or scales that determine how often the patient performs physical activities in daily life (7,8) . The relationship between the loss of functional capacity, whether that is a reduced level of physical activity or reduced walking ability, and the ability to perform activities of daily living has not been established in this group of patients.…”

Objective: of this study were to evaluate the functional independence of patients with intermittent claudication and to verify its association with sociodemographic and clinical variables, walking ability and physical activity level. Method: This was a descriptive, exploratory, cross-sectional study with a quantitative approach. Fifty participants (66.4 years; 68% male) were recruited from Claudication Unit of a tertiary hospital. Functional Independence Measure were used to evaluate functional incapacity; the Baltimore Activity Scale, to estimate the physical activity level and the Walking Impairement Questionnaire, the walking ability. Results: Participants had complete functional independence (124.8 + 2.0), low levels of physical activity (4.2 + 2.0), and impairment of walking ability; the worst performance was found in walking velocity domain (21.2 + 16.4). The functional independence score was associated with physical activity (r=0,402) and walking ability scores (distance, r=0,485; speed, r=0,463; stairs, r=0,337). Conclusion: In conclusion, the level of functionality is associated with functional capacity in these patients.

“…Patients with this symptom have diminished walking capacity, muscle strength and endurance 2,3 . For this reason, besides monitoring functionality by means of questionnaires 4 , physical capacity testing has been frequently used to assess the impact of the disease on functional ability 5,6 . Treadmill stress test is the most frequently used method, since it provides important information about the effects of the disease on the individual's capacity to ambulate 6 .…”

Tradução e validação do Walking Impairment Questionnaire em brasileiros com claudicação intermitente

Abstract: SummaryBackground: The Walking Impairment Questionnaire (WIQ) has been used to evaluate walking impairment in subjects with intermittent claudication (IC). However, this questionnaire has yet to be translated to Brazilian Portuguese, which limits its use in Brazilian subjects.
