Dyspnea Threshold During 6 Minutes Walk Test

N/ACompletedNCT02082925

5 Santé82 enrolled

Overview

In view of the multiple limitations and restrictions relative to CPET (technical, time, physical…), determination of individualized training threshold from this evaluation is today not possible for a lot of patients. The aim of this study was to propose a new clinical tool from 6MWT for individualized exercise training: the dyspnea threshold (DT6).
