Prosthetic Replacement of Mitral Valve Clinical Trial
Official title:
The Comparison of the 3 Minutes Ramp Walk Test With 6 Minutes Walk Test in Stable Patients After Valve Replacement
In view of assessing the uphill walking capacity and to provide a functional stress test with
better sensitivity the investigators need a short term functional stress test over the gold
standard six minute walk test....
To demonstrate the significance of 3 minutes ramp walk test over 6 minutes walk test as a
functional stress test.
The investigators hypothesize that the investigators three minutes ramp walk test (3MRWT)
will be superior to the existing six minutes level walk test (6MWT) in the measurement of
functional capacity of post valve replacement patients.
The patients who have undergone valve replacement surgeries face difficulty in their
functional activities especially during climbing stairs, walking uphill.
The six minute level walk test has been a gold standard in the assessment of functional
capacity in cardio respiratory conditions like, coronary heart diseases , valvular heart
diseases, chronic respiratory illness.
Moreover, six minute walk test has been framed to assess the functional capacity in level
walking.so far, no test have been developed to assess the functional capacity of the patients
during uphill walking and stair climbing.
Though ramp walking ( uphill walking) can be trained using treadmill, it is not feasible for
the indian patients as they are not familiar in the treadmill and their fear may also show
variation in the functional assessment.
Hence this study has been proposed..
