Gijbels D, Eijnde BO, Feys P. Comparison of the 2 and 6 minute walk test in multiple sclerosis. Mulitple Sclerosis 17: 1269-72, 2011.
Authors state the shorter 2mwt is a practical alternative to the standard 6mwt in a disabled population. 40 subjects with MS, mean EDSS of 3.5, some walking with a cane, and analysis showed 2mwt was within 5 +/- 4 % of 6mwt. Authors believe can substitute 2mwt for 6mwt based on results.
