LOINC description : The Six-Minute Walk Test is a timed test that requires minimal technical resources
to measure the distance that a patient can quickly walk on a flat, hard surface in
a period of 6 minutes (the six-minute walk distance, 6MWD). This measure has been
shown to be a reproducible, objective indicator of functional capacity and is a part
of the multicomponent BODE index (body-mass index, airflow obstruction, dyspnea, and
exercise capacity) that correlates with survival. It is important to emphasize that
this is a test of maximum exercise performance; subjects should be instructed and
encouraged to push themselves to achieve maximal distance.;
