Abstract

Background: Cystic Fibrosis (CF), affecting functional exercise capacity generally measured by submaximal exercise test such as 6min walk test, is a progressive, autosomal recessive and metabolic disorder. Three-axis accelerometers, which are used during gait, are an easy way to assess gait parameters in patients and healthy individuals. Gait parameters were significantly associated with clinical outcomes of COPD. However, the association between gait parameters and clinical outcomes in children with CF is unclear.
