The list of Exertion tests will appear.
Select the 6-minute walking test using the
central controller and press OK.
Comment: the 6MWT test can be performed
both with and without a heart-rate meter. For
safety reasons and in order to present
essential test parameters (such as max. HR,
VO2max etc.), we would always advise you
to use a heart-rate meter.
To perform the test with heart-
rate measurement, first
connect the chest strap. The
EN-Motion will automatically
detect whether a heart-rate
meter is connected and
whether a heart-rate signal has
been detected.
To perform the test without
heart-rate measurement, press
OK.
The 6MWT test is performed
using Autospeed.
If the Autospeed function is set
to ‘secured’ in the default
settings, the access code must
first be entered before the
Autospeed function becomes
active (see § 10.6 and § 10.7).
If it is not secured, the
Autospeed function will be
activated immediately.
A screen will then appear stating that the test
will be performed in Autospeed mode.
The advantage of this is that the patient/user
is able to concentrate fully on walking, and
the band speed will automatically adjust to
the pace of the walker.
It is therefore not necessary to manually
increase or decrease the speed during the
test.
Press OK to START the test.
