Confiabilidade do teste da caminhada de seis minutos em pacientes com miastenia gravis generalizada

Abstract: Este estudo objetivou determinar a confiabilidade do teste da caminhada de seis minutos (TC6M) como um teste de capacidade funcional em pacientes com miastenia gravis generalizada (MG). Foram selecionados 11 pacientes com MG - 5 homens, 6 mulheres - com idade de 55±9 anos, avaliados inicialmente quanto à função fulmonar, que se submeteram a três TC6M em dias diferentes. Durante e/ou após cada teste foram medidas freqüência cardíaca e saturação de oxigênio (por oxímetro portátil), sensação de dispnéia (pela esc… Show more

“…Aerobic and gait capacity: performed through the six-minute walk test (6MWT), it is a simple test and easy to apply, where you can observe some factors that influence the gait of patients. This form of assessment has validity and good reliability in patients with cardiorespiratory changes and can be applied and also has good validity and reliability in patients with chronic changes, including elderly women with knee osteoarthritis [ 15 – 17 ]. Its performance takes place in a corridor marked every 1 meter, totaling 30 meters in length, the individual walked the path, being instructed to maintain the maximum speed, as constant as possible, for 6 minutes, performing the greatest number of turns in the corridor.…”

“…Kinesiophobia: assessed using the Tampa Scale for Kinesiophobia (TKS), patients' fear of movement was investigated. The Tampa scale has been used in different populations with chronic disorders, such as low back pain, and it can transpose reliability and validity, with adequate internal consistency, to investigation in other joints such as the knee [ 17 ]. The scale consists of 17 items that address pain and the intensity of symptoms, scores range from 1 to 4, the maximum obtained is 68 points, and the minimum is 17 points.…”

“…The 6MWT evaluates integrated responses of all physiological systems involved in the exercise that include cardiovascular and respiratory systems, motor units and peripheral skeletal muscles. 6 The 6MWT performance may be limited by both biomechanical and neuromuscular factors, as the cardiovascular response to this type of exercise. 7 , 8 Therefore, the 6MWT can be associated with gait speed, balance and motor function of the lower limbs in patients with sequelae of stroke.…”
