Background/Objective: To date, a validated Chinese (Mandarin) six-minute walk test (6MWT) translated instruction is not available. Translation of the Chinese 6MWT instruction is done in an ad hoc manner within the Chinese-speaking populations. This study aimed to develop a set of valid and reliable Chinese (Mandarin) instructions of the 6MWT. Methods: Translation was performed from the original English instruction via the recommended “Process of translation and adaptation of instruments” by the World Health Organization to generate the Chinese instructions. The Chinese instructions were tested with 52 healthy adult participants for its validity. Each participant underwent three 6MWTs and a cardiopulmonary exercise test. Randomization allowed participants to undergo the walk test in both the original English and the new Chinese instructions. Face and content validity, intra-rater and inter-rater reliability of the Chinese instructions of the 6MWT were established through the translation process. Criterion validity was established by analyzing the results of the 6MWT and cardiopulmonary exercise test. Results: Intraclass correlation coefficient for inter-rater reliability was excellent ([Formula: see text], 95% confidence [Formula: see text]–1.000). Similarly, the intra-rater reliability across the three raters was high (R1: [Formula: see text], 95% confidence interval [Formula: see text]–1.000; R2: [Formula: see text], 95% [Formula: see text]–1.000; R3: [Formula: see text], 95% [Formula: see text]–1.000). The 6-min walk distances collected from the Chinese and English instructed trials correlated positively with the maximal oxygen consumption ([Formula: see text], [Formula: see text]; [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text]). Conclusion: This is the first study to develop and validate the Chinese (Mandarin) instructions of the 6MWT, and the translation is as reliable and valid as the original English instructions.

Introduction: Postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (POTS) is a form of dysautonomia that can present as orthostatic tachycardia, dizziness, nausea, and anxiety, and many other symptoms that can be debilitating enough to cause functional impairment. The cardiopulmonary exercise test (CPET) has become a reliable test for evaluating the functional capacity (fc) in POTS patients. The test requires utilization of a bicycle ergometer, blood pressure apparatus, ECG, pulse oximeter, and a face mask that measures the oxygen uptake and carbon dioxide release. The 6-minute walk test (6MWT) is another test that can also be utilized to assess fc in patients. Objective: The aim of this study is to differentiate whether the 6MWT and CPET give similar results with regards to fc in POTS patients. Methods: A total of 27 POTS patients visiting the clinic consented to participate in the voluntary study. There were 2 males and 25 females, with ages between 16 to 58 years. For the 6MWT, we used wrist worn pulse oximeter, electronic tablet device, sphygmomanometer and a lap counter. Patients walked in a straight flat corridor which was marked at 3 meter intervals, for six minutes. At the end of 6 minutes, patients were asked to stop and the six minute walk distance (6MWD) was recorded. The predicted 6MWD, the distance the patient was expected to walk based on patient’s sex, age, height and weight was calculated by the application installed on the tablet. The percentage of the predicted 6MWD that was actually walked by the patients was calculated (6MWD % predicted), and considered as their fc. Using the electronic medical records, we obtained their CPET fc results, where fc was calculated as a percentage of the predicted maximal oxygen uptake per unit body weight per unit time (VO 2max ) that was actually consumed. The VO 2max measurement depends on patient’s sex, age, weight and height. Pearson correlation coefficient was used to compare the results of the 6MWT (6MWD % predicted) and CPET (fc). Results: Pearson correlation coefficient shows that there is no linear association between the CPET (fc) results and 6MWT (6MWD % predicted) results in POTS patients, with p=0.3368. Conclusion: The results convey no statistically significant association between the CPET (fc) results and the 6MWT (6MWD % predicted) results in POTS patients; the results of the 6MWT were not similar to that of the CPET in terms of fc testing in POTS patients. This suggests that the 6MWT has limited utility in POTS patients.
