NCT ID NCT04228328

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study looked at whether a 6-minute walk test done over a short 6-meter distance is a valid and reliable way to measure walking ability in people with multiple sclerosis. Twenty-one adults with MS participated. The goal is to see if this shorter version works as well as the standard 30-meter test, which may be easier to perform in small spaces.
