Validity and Reliability of the 6-Minute Pegboard and Ring Test in Patients With Coronary Artery Disease

Coronary artery disease, a cardiovascular disease, causes significant mortality and morbidity. Due to the impairment of arterial blood flow in coronary artery disease, the heart muscle cannot receive an adequate blood supply during exercise, resulting in symptoms such as chest pain, shortness of breath, and fatigue, which can lead to a decrease in exercise capacity. The 6-Minute Pegboard and Ring Test is a simple, rapid, and inexpensive assessment tool used to evaluate upper extremity exercise capacity. The purpose of this study was to assess the validity and reliability of the 6-Minute Pegboard and Ring Test in patients with coronary artery disease.
