ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
There currently is no field test available for measuring maximal exercise capacity in people with stroke.OBJECTIVE:
To determine the feasibility, reproducibility and validity of the Shuttle Test (ST) to measure exercise capacity in people with stroke.DESIGN:
Longitudinal study design.SETTING:
Rehabilitation department, day care centres from a nursing home and private practices specialized in neuro rehabilitation.SUBJECTS:
People with subacute or chronic stroke.INTERVENTIONS:
A standardized protocol was used to determine feasibility, reproducibility and validity of the 10-meter Shuttle Test (10mST). MAINMEASURES:
Number of shuttles completed, 1stVentilatory Threshold (1stVT).RESULTS:
The associations of the number of shuttles completed and cardiopulmonary capacity as measured with a portable gas analyser were r > 0.7, confirming good convergent validity in subacute and chronic people with stroke. Criterion validity, however, indicates it is not a valid test for measuring maximal cardiopulmonary capacity (VO2max). Only 60% of participants were able to reach the 1stVT. Higher cardiopulmonary capacity and a higher total score of the lower extremity Motricity Index contributed significantly to a higher number of shuttles walked (p = 0.001).CONCLUSIONS:
The Shuttle Test may be a safe and useful exercise test for people after stroke, but may not be appropriate for use with people who walk slower than 2 km/h or 0.56 m/s.
