Summary
This study is testing a new, simple stepping-in-place test to measure heart and lung fitness in people who are acutely ill. Researchers will compare the stepping test to a standard treadmill test to see if it works just as well. The goal is to provide an easier way to assess fitness in hospital settings like the ICU. About 60 adults who can walk (with or without a cane or walker) will participate.
