  • Title: Comparison of two methods of assessing physical performance in patients with chronic airway obstruction.
    Author: Alison JA, Anderson SD.
    Journal: Phys Ther; 1981 Sep; 61(9):1278-80. PubMed ID: 7267713.
    Abstract:
    The results of a 12-minute walking test and the maximum working capacity (Wmax) achieved on a bicycle ergometer were compared in 25 patients with chronic obstructive lung disease. There was a significant correlation between the distance walked in 12 minutes and the Wmax that each patient could achieve on the bicycle ergometer (r = .68, p less than .001). The maximum oxygen uptake on both tests was not significantly different.
