| dc.description.abstract | Introduction: Exercise testing is frequently used to assist clinicians in assessing prognosis and evaluating response to treatment. The 6-min walk test is a standardized test of functional exercise capacity. Objectives: The aim of the present study was to identify and describe the anthropometric characteristics, gait velocity and instrumented 6-min walk test with kinematics parameters from the inertial sensor during the test in a Portuguese population of subjects over 65 years. Methods: They were measured variables related to anthropometrics, the 6-min walk test and kinematic variables in the 6-min walk test related to accelerations and angular velocity. Results: The results were; six minutes walk (359,26 ± 107.49 meters), initial heart rate (72,95 ± 7,74BPM), final initial heart rate (80,58 ± 13,86 BPM), initial systolic blood pressure (148,42 ± 21,25 mmHg), final systolic blood pressure (164,26 ± 24,49 mmHg), initial diastolic blood pressure (75,63 ± 11,04 mmHg), final diastolic blood pressure (77,00 ± 9,52 mmHg), gait velocity (1,04 ± 0,37 m/s), max rotation rate X (1,05 ± 0,36 rad/s), min rotation rate X (−0,82 ± 0,33 rad/s), max rotation rate Y (2,63 ± 0,96 rad/s), min rotation rate Y (−1,69 ± 0,81 rad/s), max rotation rate Z (1,03 ± 0,33 rad/s), min rotation rate Z (−1,12 ± 0,38 rad/s), max acceleration X (0,77 ± 0,37 m/s2), min acceleration X (−0,91 ± 0,44 m/s2), max acceleration Y (0,53 ± 0,23 m/s2), min acceleration Y (−1,25 ± 0,70 m/s2), max acceleration Z (0,49 ± 0,14 m/s2), min acceleration Z (−0,96 ± 0,34 m/s2). Conclusions: The only one outcome in 6-min walk the test (total distance in meters), could be complemented with inertial sensor information. This new complement could be interesting in order to understand other dimensions in the 6-min walk or identify changes in function and results in the test after a program to improve physical fitness. | pt_PT |
