Objetivos – Averiguar se o Four Square Step Test (FSST) e o L-Test constituem uma alternativa ao 6-Minute Walk Test (6MWT) para a avaliação de desempenho em amputados de membro inferior. Métodos – Estudo transversal e analítico com 19 participantes amputados de membro inferior avaliados por meio do FSST, L-Test e 6MWT. Resultados – Houve uma correlação negativa moderada entre o FSST e o 6MWT (r=-0,611; p=0,005) e uma correlação negativa forte entre o L-Test e o 6MWT (r=-0,798; p=0,000). Dos preditores do 6MWT, apenas foi identificado como tal o L-Test, obtendo-se para este modelo um R2 ajustado =0,616 (R2 Change=0,637, F Change (1, 17)=29,827; p=0,00001). Conclusões – Os participantes que obtiveram os melhores resultados no L-Test foram os que obtiveram melhores resultados na distância percorrida, sendo que um segundo a mais no L-Test corresponde a uma diminuição em média de 9,537 metros no 6MWT. Foi possível verificar que o L-Test constitui uma alternativa ao 6MWT, o que por si só constitui uma enorme vantagem, pois precisa de um espaço e tempo bastante mais reduzidos para a sua realização; em ortoprotesia constitui uma mais-valia, pois na maior parte dos casos os espaços existentes são de pequena dimensão.
ABSTRACT - Objectives – Find out if the Four Square Step Test (FSST) and L-Test are an alternative to the 6-Minute Walk Test (6MWT) for the performance evaluation of lower limb amputees Methodology – Cross-sectional and analytical study with 19 lower limb amputees assessed by FSST, L-Test, and 6MWT. Results – There was a moderate negative correlation between FSST and 6MWT (r=-0.611; p=0.005) and a strong negative correlation between L-Test and 6MWT (r=-0.798; p=0.000). Of the 6MWT predictors, only the L-Test was identified as such, an adjusted R2=0.616 (R2 Change=0.637, F Change (1. 17)=29.827; p=0.00001) was obtained for this model. Conclusions – The participants who obtained the best results in the L-Test, were the ones who obtained the best results in the distance covered, being that 1 second more in the L-Test corresponds to an average decrease of 9.537 meters in the 6MWT. It was then possible to verify that the L-Test constitutes an alternative to 6MWT, which in itself constitutes an enormous advantage, as it needs a much smaller space and time for its realization, which in Prosthetics & Orthotics fields is an asset because in most cases the existing spaces are small.
