Epistemis6 Minute Walk Test: Predicted Distance and Desaturation
Without a reference value, the distance traveled says nothing. The Enright and Sherrill equations give the expected distance by age, height, weight and sex, and the lower limit of normality. It is also the variable that feeds the BODE index.
Required inputs
| Variable | Example value |
|---|---|
| Distance traveled (meters) | 420 |
| Age (years) | 60 |
| Size (cm) | 168 |
| Weight (kg) | 72 |
| Sex | — |
| Oxygen saturation at rest (%) | 96 |
| Minimum saturation during test (%) | 89 |

This page explains the score but does not run it. In Epistemis, the calculator validates units, flags values outside physiological ranges, and provides the interpretation that a number alone cannot convey.
