Three-min Step Test and Exercise Desaturation Detection in Chronic Respiratory Insufficiency Patients

France27 participantsStarted 2022-04-15

Plain-language summary

The study project will aim at the evaluation of the occurrence of exercise desaturation phenomenon during two different modalities of exercise (walking and stepping condition). This study will allow determining the sensibility of the 3-minute step test to detect exercise desaturation, in comparison with the gold standard (6-minute walking test). The 3-minute step test could therefore appear as a complementary tool for the evaluation of oxygen desaturation in chronic respiratory disease.
