Abstract
To the extent that ETT performance can be viewed as a measure of cardiovascular fitness rather than neurologic impairment, cardiovascular fitness at the time of the ETT did not make a significant unique contribution to the number of sessions needed to achieve 20 minutes of stepping. The 6MWT, which involves less intensive exercise than the ETT and therefore is likely to be predominantly affected by neurologic impairment and muscular condition, appeared to account for as much variance as the ETT.
