Changes in 6 Minute Walk Distance (6MWD)
Changes in distance traveled during a 6 minute walk test (6MWT). Initial baseline measurement was taken prior to the treatment with the RePneu coil and the second measurement was taken 12 months after the initial treatment of the RePneu coil. 6MWD was measured in meters.
Time frame: Baseline, 12 months post initial treatment
