The use of a standardized test administration for outcome measures will help clinicians achieve consistency between patient performance and reduce the chance of testing error. Simple tests like the 2 minute walk test can be subject to a number of testing errors is not standardized. This retrospective cross-sectional design will illustrate differences within clinics and between published research data.
Learning Objectives:
Describe methods for standardization of outcome measures in an outpatient clinic
Describe difference between clinic-based and research-based walking test means for different patient populations
