The 6 min pegboard and ring test (6PBRT) is a valid and reproducible test of unsupported arm exercise endurance. The aim of this study was to determine the associations between the 6PBRT, activities of daily living (ADL) and hemoglobin levels in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).
This study included 40 stable patients with COPD. All participants underwent the 6PBRT, peripheral venous blood sampling, arm ergometer test and the Glittre-ADL and ADL simulation tests for the ADLs performance.
An average 172.51 ± 25.94 rings were moved in 6 min. The number of rings in 6PBRT was significantly positively correlated with the number of cycles in ADL simulation test (r = 0.553, p < 0.001), peak oxygen consumption in arm ergometer (r = 0.381, p = 0.024) and serum hemoglobin level (r = 0.411, p = 0.011).
The number of rings moved in the 6PBRT is associated with ADL simulation test performance that reflects upper extremity ADLs. Therefore, the 6PBRT can be used for estimating limitation in upper extremity ADLs as a simple and quick evaluation in patients with GOLD stage II-III COPD.
6 分钟指板和指环测试(6PBRT)是一种评估非支撑手臂运动耐力的有效且可重复的测试方法。本研究旨在确定 6PBRT 与慢性阻塞性肺疾病(COPD)患者的日常生活活动(ADL)和血红蛋白水平之间的相关性。
本研究纳入了 40 例稳定期 COPD 患者。所有参与者均接受了 6PBRT、外周静脉血样采集、手臂测力计测试以及 Glittre-ADL 和 ADL 模拟测试,以评估 ADL 表现。
平均 6 分钟内可移动 172.51±25.94 个指环。6PBRT 中的指环数与 ADL 模拟测试中的循环数(r=0.553,p<0.001)、手臂测力计测试中的峰值摄氧量(r=0.381,p=0.024)和血清血红蛋白水平(r=0.411,p=0.011)呈显著正相关。
6PBRT 中移动的指环数与反映上肢 ADL 的 ADL 模拟测试性能相关。因此,6PBRT 可用于评估 GOLD Ⅱ-Ⅲ期 COPD 患者上肢 ADL 的限制,是一种简单、快速的评估方法。
