Walk Test

The specialists at North Jersey Pulmonary Associates may recommend a 6 minute Walk Test in order to evaluate your level of fitness and how your body functions. We use this test to help us gauge your ability to exercise.

Oftentimes, this test is recommended to monitor a patient's response to heart and lung treatments and is used for patients with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD), Interstitial Lung Disease or Pulmonary Hypertension. It may also be used to evaluate people before a lung transplantation.
