About this study

Official title: The Reliability and Validity of Incremental Shuttle Walking Test to Assess Exercise Capacity in Patients With Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease

Investigators will perform this study to validate shuttle walking tests in korean patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. This study will be performed as multi-center prospective observational correlation study in ulsan university hospital and asan medical center. 36 participants will perform the exercise stress test with cycle, 6 minutes walking test and shuttle walking test. Investigators will analyze correlation 6 minutes walking test and shuttle walking test with exercise stress test.

Read the detailed description

Investigators will perform this study to validate shuttle walking tests in korean patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. This study will be performed as multi-center prospective observational correlation study in ulsan university hospital and asan medical center.

18 patients will be enrolled in each hospital. When then visit, patients will perform questionnaire and laboratory study for baseline characteristics. After that, patients select memo, in which order for the exercise stress test with cycle, 6 minutes walking test and shuttle walking test will be written. Along that order, patients will perform each study at every two day in a week.

Investigators will analyze correlation 6 minutes walking test and shuttle walking test with exercise stress test. To analyze reliability in shuttle walking test, patients will shuttle walking test in two times. Researchers will analyze correlation between them.

Being tested
Shuttle walking test, Exercise stress test, 6 minutes walking test
Medical subject headings
Pulmonary Disease, Chronic Obstructive

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Shuttle walking testDiagnostic test

    Patients will be required to walk around a 10-m course marked by cones placed 9 m apart, thus allowing 0.5 m for turning at each end. Walking speed will be regulated by prerecorded signals on a compact disc or MP3 file. Patients will increase walking speed at every minute. patients can stop this study, when they can not maintain their speeds due to dyspnea

  • Exercise stress testDiagnostic test

    Exercise stress test will be performed with cycle. When patients perform this study, they will gradually increase the velocity. Investigators will measure electrocardiography, vital sign, oxygen saturation, oxygen uptake, minute ventilation and fatigue.

  • 6 minutes walking testDiagnostic test

    When participants perform 6 minutes walking test, patients will walk around the tract during 6 minutes. They can their walking speed according to condition and symptom. Investigators records walking distance, pulse rate, oxygen saturation and Borg scale

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Correlation between shuttle walking test, 6 minutes walking test and exercise stress test

    Correlation between walking distance in shuttle walking test, walking distance in 6 minutes walking test and maximal oxygen uptake in exercise stress test

    Measured: 1 week

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Reproducibility in shuttle walking test

    correlation between 2 times of walking distance in each shuttle walking test

    Measured: 1 week

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Shuttle walking test, Exercise stress test and 6 minutes walking test in people with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease, run by Asan Medical Center at 1 site in South Korea.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 3 inclusion and 15 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 27 Nov 2019. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in South Korea. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Correlation between shuttle walking test, 6 minutes walking test and exercise stress test (time frame: 1 week). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 27 Nov 2019; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 4 Nov 2026.
