The number of standing up will be recorded.

6 minute walk test

The patient's exercise capacity will be determined by the six minute walk test. The test will be applied in a corridor 30 meters long. The patient will be asked to walk as fast as possible for six minutes. The patient can stop during the test if they needed. The total time, the number of times it has stopped and the total distance traveled will be recorded. Oxygen saturation, heart rate, and blood pressure measurements will be taken before and after the test. According to the modified Borg scale, dyspnea, leg fatigue and general fatigue will be questioned.
