Physiological Response to the 6-Minute Frame Running Test in Children and Adults with Cerebral Palsy

"Physiological Response to the 6-Minute Frame Running Test in Children and Adults with Cerebral Palsy" INTERVIEW: Arnoud M M Edelman Bos MSc, from the Department of Rehabilitation Medicine, Amsterdam University Medical Centers, Amsterdam, the Netherlands, talks about his team's research findings published in the journal: Pediatric Physical Therapy TITLE OF RESEARCH ARTICLE: "Physiological Response to the 6-Minute Frame Running Test in Children and Adults With Cerebral Palsy" DESCRIPTION: AMSTERDAM, the Netherlands—Research published in the journal Pediatric Physical Therapy has shown that young people and adults with cerebral palsy can have their physiological responses to exercise accurately assessed by using a three-wheeled “frame runner”—like a tricycle, but propelled by the rider’s legs pushing along the ground rather than pedals. The lead author of the article, Arnoud M M Edelman Bos, MSc from the Department of Rehabilitation Medicine at Amsterdam University Medical Centers in Amsterdam, the Netherlands, explains how patients with more severe impairments who could not use a tread-mill or an exercise bicycle for physiological assessment can have their cardiovascular responses accurately measured by means of the “Six-Minute Frame-Running Test” to improve physical therapy and for fitness training.

PURPOSE: To determine the physiological response and association to peak oxygen uptake of the 6-minute Frame Running Test (6-MFRT) in persons with cerebral palsy (CP). METHODS: Twenty-four participants with CP, Gross Motor Function Classification System II/III/IV, performed the 6-MFRT. Distance, peak heart rate (HRpeak), peak respiratory exchange ratio (RERpeak), and peak oxygen uptake (V ̇ o2peak) were measured. RESULTS: HR peak ranged from 146 to 201 beats per minute, RER peak from 0.94 to 1.49, 6-MFRT distance from 179 to 1220 mm and V ̇ o2peak from 0.62 to 2.18 L/min. HRpeak was achieved in 63%, RERpeak in 71%. A strong correlation was observed between 6-MFRT and V ̇ o2peak. CONCLUSIONS: The 6-MFRT represented a (near) maximum effort for 75% of the participants and the 6-MFRT can be used to estimate oxygen consumption on an individual basis.
