    El análisis de la fiabilidad del test de 6 minutos caminando en una población de personas con secuelas de poliomielitis paralítica mediante test-retest de 12 semanas no ha sido estudiado. Participaron personas con secuelas de poliomielitis paralítica (n = 18; 48,72 ± 7,69 años; 65,8 ± 11,6 kg). Se les realizó un test-retest de 12 semanas de la prueba de 6 minutos caminando que consistía en que los sujetos anduvieran la mayor distancia, sin llegar a la carrera, en un periodo de 6 minutos. La fiabilidad relativa de la prueba fue excelente (CCI = 0,99). En lo que se refiere a la fiabilidad absoluta se obtuvo un error estándar de medida (SEM) del 1,7% y un mínimo cambio real (SRD) de 4,7%. La fiabilidad del test de 6 minutos caminando usando el método Bland Altman mostró que el error sistemático (diferencia de medias entre el test-retest) fue 2,72 (bias). En conclusión, los resultados obtenidos en el test de 6 minutos ca- minando han sido muy fiables y afirmamos que la prueba de 6 minutos caminando podrá ser utilizada como prueba de evaluación en una población con secuelas de poliomielitis paralítica, con un intervalo de 12 semanas entre las dos mediciones, para comprobar los cambios que se han producido tras la aplicación de un programa de actividad física.

    The analysis of the reliability of the six-minute walking test in people with paralytic polio sequelae through the twelve-week test-retest has not been studied yet. The subjects were people with paralytic polio sequelae (n = 18; 48,72 ± 7,69 years; 65,8 ± 11,6 kg). They were performed a twelve-week test-retest of the six-minute-walking test. This test consisted of having people walk as much as they could in six minutes, without running. The relative reliability of the described test was excellent (ICC = 0,99). As for absolute reliability, a standard error of measurement (SEM) of 1,7% was obtained and a small real difference (SRD) of 4.7%. The reliability of the six-minute-walking test using the Bland-Altman method showed that the systematic error (mean difference between test-retest) was 2,72 (bias). In conclusion the results obtained in the six-minute-walking test have been very reliable; we affirm that the six-minute-walking test may be used as a test for people with paralytic polio sequelae through twelve weeks test-retest, so that the changes obtained after the application of a physical activity program can be checked
