Interest of Performing Two 6-minute Walk Tests at the End of a Pulmonary Rehabilitation Program, in COPD Patients.

In pulmonary rehabilitation, the 6-Minute Walk Test (6MWT) is essential to assess the effects of the program on patients' health. Current guidelines don't recommend to perform two 6MWT at the end of pulmonary rehabilitation. However, a more recent study shows that two 6MWT should be performed at the end of the program to accurately and reliably assess patients' capacities. The aim of this study is to compare the results of two tests performed at the end of the program by COPD patients to find out whether there is a benefit of performing two 6MWT at the end of pulmonary rehabilitation.
