Time frame: 6 month

Walking ability

Evaluation materials Six Minute Walk Test (6MWT) it is a valid and reliable instrumentation using to asses walking capacity The child of this test is to walk as far as possible for 6 minutes. You will walk back and forth in this hallway, after the test, measured walking capacity exercise (BP, HR and SpO2) were re-measured.
