Résumé
The 6-Min Manual Wheelchair Propulsion Test is proposed to easily and rapidly assess aerobic fitness among long-term (≥3 mos) manual wheelchair users with spinal cord injury. However, aerobic responses to this test have not been established. This study aimed (1) to characterize aerobic responses during the 6-Min Manual Wheelchair Propulsion Test, (2) to establish parallel reliability between the 6-Min Manual Wheelchair Propulsion Test and the Maximal Arm Crank Ergometer Test, and (3) to quantify the strength of association between the total distance traveled during the 6-Min Manual Wheelchair Propulsion Test and peak oxygen consumption. Twenty manual wheelchair users with a spinal cord injury completed both tests. Aerobic parameters were measured before, during, and after the tests. Main outcome measures were peak oxygen consumption and total distance traveled. Progressive cardiorespiratory responses, consistent with guidelines for exercise testing, were observed during both tests. Similar peak oxygen consumption values were obtained during both tests (6-Min Manual Wheelchair Propulsion Test: 20.2 ± 4.9 ml/kg·min; Maximal Arm Crank Ergometer Test: 20.4 ± 5.0 ml/kg·min), were highly correlated (r = 0.92, P < 0.001), and had a good agreement (mean absolute difference = 0.21, 95% confidence interval = -0.70 to 1.11, P = 0.639). The peak oxygen consumption and total distance traveled (mean = 636.6 ± 56.9 m) during the 6-Min Manual Wheelchair Propulsion Test were highly correlated (r = 0.74, P < 0.001). The 6-Min Manual Wheelchair Propulsion Test induces progressive aerobic responses consistent with guidelines for exercise testing and can be used to efficiently estimate aerobic fitness in manual wheelchair users with a spinal cord injury.
