Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
Healthy younger
All participants between 18 and 65 years of age that completed the test
Six Minute Walk Test
The patients walked as far as possible for 6 minutes--over two separate trials. In one trial, an examiner walked with the participant. In the second trial, the participant walked independently. A paired T test was performed to see if there was a significant difference in the distance walked or gait speed between the trials.
Healthy older
All participants \> 65 years of age that completed the test
Six Minute Walk Test
The patients walked as far as possible for 6 minutes--over two separate trials. In one trial, an examiner walked with the participant. In the second trial, the participant walked independently. A paired T test was performed to see if there was a significant difference in the distance walked or gait speed between the trials.
