Summary: This study aimed to identify the factors independently associated with the six-minute walk test (6MWT) at the 4-6-week follow-up after cardiac surgery and develop an equation to predict the 6MWT during this period. Retrospective analysis of patient data showed that 6MWT at discharge was correlated with 6MWT at the 4-6-week follow-up, as well as regular exercise, age, gender, and preoperative New York Heart Association (NYHA) classification. An equation was generated based on these factors to predict 6MWT at 4-6 weeks after hospital discharge.

Summary: This study identified the determinants that influence the 6-MWD in patients after CABG and valve surgery, and generated prediction equations for these two groups respectively.

Summary: The study investigated LV KE in patients with AS before and after valve intervention, finding that LV blood flow KE is associated with 6MWT and LV remodelling. LV KE assessment provides additional value over routine LV function and pressure gradient assessment in AS.

Summary: A 12-week physical therapy program with progressive resistive training (PRT) did not show superiority over a 6-week program in improving walking distance after hip fracture surgery. Hip fracture-related pain was relatively low and strength testing and training were well tolerated.

Summary: This study compares the performance of pediatric patients with severe burns in the six-minute walk test and the Modified Bruce treadmill test. The results show that the Modified Bruce treadmill test challenges the cardiorespiratory system more, while the six-minute walk test is more clinically feasible for assessing submaximal functional exercise capacity.

Summary: Physical activity is effective for breast cancer patients, with the use of adapted target heart rate for exercise intensity. The 6MWT-HR and CPET provide useful information for prescribing exercise programs before and after treatment. This method is beneficial for patients' recovery and physical health post-treatment.

Summary: The study emphasizes the importance of regular and actual walking ability testing in patients with stable CAD to obtain their cardiorespiratory fitness, rather than simply predicting it from regression equations obtained from non-representative or non-comparable samples.

Summary: This study evaluated the efficacy of the Six-Minute Walk Test (6MWT) in determining the physical activity capacities of patients with chronic disease. The results showed a moderate relationship between 6MWT and physical activity capacity for these patients.

Summary: The 6-minute walk test (6MWT) has prognostic utility in elderly patients with heart failure, with those who walked less than 200 meters being at the highest risk. Nebivolol did not have any effect on 6MWT outcomes over a 6-month period according to the SENIORS trial data.

Summary: This study aimed to provide test-retest reliability for the 6-min walk test and physiological variables in children and adolescents with cystic fibrosis, and establish the minimal detectable change for the distances walked. Results showed good test-retest reliability for distance walked, dyspnea, and fatigue in the legs, with exercise tolerance being more related to 6-min walk work and positively associated with peripheral muscle strength and forced vital capacity.

Summary: This paper presents a systematic review of the use of sensors to measure different physical parameters during the performance of 6MWT, focusing on various diseases, sensors, and implemented methodologies. The analysis discovered that the measurements of 6MWT are primarily performed with inertial and magnetic sensors, and most research studies related to this test focus on multiple sclerosis and pulmonary diseases.

Summary: This study aimed to predict adverse events during 6MWT using continuous physiological parameters and demographic variables. The results showed that features related to blood oxygen were the most important and those related to heart rate were the most numerous. The LightGBM model had the highest AUC, with Logistic Regression following closely behind. The mMRC and Borg scales had the lowest performance in predicting adverse events.

Summary: This study aims to generate a regression model based on machine learning to predict the age of the elderly as an indicator of dynamic balance ability. The model used IMU data collected from TUG tests and 6MWT performed by 136 elderly participants, and the performance of the model was analyzed and compared.

Summary: Cardiac rehabilitation (CR) is associated with improved symptoms and survival in patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI). The study found that CR significantly improved diastolic function in AMI patients, with CR group showing the best diastolic function parameters at follow-up echocardiographic examinations.

Summary: This study aimed to describe 6MWT reference values and predictive models for children with JIA, and found that height, weight, and age were predictive factors of 6MWT distance. The study also demonstrated that children with JIA had lower 6MWT distances compared to children without JIA, with distances ranging from 78% to 84% of predicted values.
