Stepping up: simple test may revolutionize COPD rehab access
NCT ID NCT04008615
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at 65 people with COPD to see if a simple six-minute stepper test can give similar information as a standard, more complex exercise test. The goal is to make it easier for patients to get assessed for pulmonary rehabilitation, especially in places where the standard test isn't available. Researchers measured oxygen use and other body responses during both tests to compare them.
