Summary

This study tests a new stepping-in-place exercise test (F-IST) for people who are acutely ill, such as those in the ICU. Researchers want to see if this simple test is as accurate as the standard treadmill test for measuring fitness. Sixty adults who can walk (with or without help) will participate. The goal is to provide an easier way to assess heart and lung function in hospital settings.
