Overview

Observational analysis confirmed excellent test-retest reliability for 6MST and 1-min-STST in post-COVID-19 patients, suggesting these could be effective assessments.

Key Points

  • Test-retest reliability was excellent for all tested assessments in post-COVID-19 patients.
  • The 6-minute walk test showed an ICC of 0.97, indicating strong reliability.
  • Calculating minimal detectable changes revealed specific MDC scores for 6MST and 1-min-STST.
  • These findings support the use of 6MST and 1-min-STST for evaluating recovery in post-COVID-19 patients.
