Predicted VO2 on 6 minutes walk test for FAP liver transplanted patients. In 17th Annual Congress of the European College of Sports Science, Bruges (Belgium), 4th to 7th July, 2012. Poster.http://hdl.handle.net/10400.21/2469Physical function is limited post-liver transplantation and exercise training can improve exercise capacity following transplantation but previously assessment of functional capacity is necessary. The 6 minute walk test (6MWT) is routinely used for studying patient’s exercise capacity and is less expensive and time consuming than a Cardiopulmonary Exercise Test (CPXT). There have been some studies looking at the relationship between 6MWT and peak VO2 in patients but few presented an adequate equation for predicted peak VO2 from 6MWT to transplanted patients and none for Familial Amyloidotic Polyneuropathy (FAP) liver transplanted patients (FAPTx). The aim of this study was to compare the validity of 6 equations as predictors of VO2 from the 6MWT and compare it with directly measured VO2 in patients FAPTx.engPhysiotherapyLiver transplantation6 Minute walk testExercise capacityCardiopulmonary Exercise TestFamilial amyloidotic polyneuropathyconference object
