SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: 2 months

Population: 3 patients were unable to have peak oxygen consumption assessed at all 3 time points

Patients were exercised to exhaustion on a motorized treadmill using a modified Naughton protocol. Oxygen consumption, was calculated

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: 2 months

Patients had submaximal exercise capacity evaluated by a 6-minute walk. This test was performed on a 100-foot hallway. Patients were instructed to walk from end to end repeatedly at a comfortable pace while attempting to cover as much ground as possible. After 6 minutes, the distance covered was measured to the nearest foot.
