6分鐘步行試驗(6MWT)是運動能力程度的客觀評估,可用於評估晚發型脊髓性肌肉萎縮症病患的行走能力20

  • 參與者被指示要盡可能快速地在平坦的路面沿著25米長的路線行走,繞過標記錐後迴轉,沿著相反的方向返回20
  • 6分鐘內盡可能重複此過程20
  • 測試有一條起點線,每1米會放置一條水平線。跑步或慢跑都不被允許20
6MWT-illustration
  • 一項對於有行走能力的晚發型SMA (III型) 患者的研究顯示,相較於基線,6分鐘步行試驗的行走距離會逐年減少1.5米20
  • 6 分鐘步行試驗與HFMSE評分顯著相關(r = 0.83,P <0.0001)20

晚發型SMA患者可能會出現6MWT逐步下降的狀況。21

一項對有行走能力的晚發型SMA(III型)患者的研究顯示,從6分鐘步行試驗的基線起算,每年行走距離會減少1.5米(平均、5英尺)。21
