Background: Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) is an infectious disease, causing a range of symptoms such as fever, cough, and dyspnea. 6 Minute walk test (6MWT) is recommended to measure functional capacity in COVID-19. 1- Min sit to stand (STS-1) test has been used as its alternative in various respiratory conditions. This retrospective study aims to explore the relationship between the two tests in patients with COVID-19. Patients and methods: The medical records of COVID-19 patients in a male step down unit, referred for physical therapy between the periods from 5th September, 2020 to 25th September, 2020 were analysed retrospectively. Hemodynamically stable patients who underwent 6MWT and STS-1 prior to discharge, were included in the analysis. SPSS Version 24 was used to find the correlation between 6-min walk distance (6MWD) and number of repetitions in STS-1; and to compare the haemodynamic responses between the two tests. Results: There was a statistically significant positive correlation between the 6MWD and the STS⁻¹ repetitions (r=0.75, p<0.0001). On comparison of the two tests, the change in heart rate (HR) was significantly greater in the STS⁻¹ (p = 0.027). Whereas, the change in dyspnea (modified Borg’s score) and SpO2 was similar in both the groups and was not statistically significant (p= 0.10, p=0.62; respectively). Conclusion: There is a significant correlation between the 6MWT and STS⁻¹ test with similar haemodynamic response and can perhaps be used as an alternative to 6MWT in COVID-19.

This study investigated the mediating role of depressive symptoms among 147 middle-aged and older adults with FM in the relationship between pain intensity and 4 objective measures of physical performance: Fullerton Advanced Balance scale (FAB), 6-Minute Walk Test (6MWT), 30-Second Chair Stand (30SCS), and 8-Foot Up and Go Test (8FUPGT). Asymptotic mediation analyses revealed that depressive symptoms fully mediated the relationship between pain intensity and FAB (95% CI [−0.40, −0.10]) and 8FUPGT (CI [0.02, 0.11]) and partially mediated the relationship to 6MWT (CI [−9.15, −2.20]) and 30SCS (CI [−0.29, −0.06]). Findings support the evaluation of co-morbid depression in FM.

The purpose of this study is to examine the relationship between six-minute walk test and muscle pain, muscle strength in visually disabled people. The study includes 50 visually disabled people, aged between 17, 21 ± 5,3. Participants were classified into three categories according to their degree of vision (B1, B2, B3). All participants were administered to six-minute walk test, muscle test and muscle pain threshold test.In B2 and B3 group there is significant moderate correlation between the walk distance and muscles. There were significant differences in pain threshold of quadriceps, pain threshold of hamstring and pain threshold of tibialis anterior among the groups. The data were evaluated using IBM SPSS Statistics 23.0 package software, and the level of significance was taken as p < 0.005.When the visually disabled people were classified according to their visual degree, it was noticed that visual area is important while walking. Muscle power is thought to be effective in walking ability. The muscles of the legs, backs and buttocks act as they walk and allow them to stay in balance. In addition to the muscular strength, people with muscle pain do not want to continue walking because they are feeling pain in their muscles as they walk.As a result, if we want to increase walking distance, which is an important part of daily life activities of visually impaired individuals, an exercise program should be organized to strengthen muscle groups that are effective in walking and to rehabilitate painful muscles.
