AB  - Background: The incremental shuttle walk test (ISWT) was developed > 20 years ago 
      and has been used to assess peak exercise capacity in a variety of chronic 
      diseases. The aim of this systematic review is to describe the measurement 
      properties of the ISWT in a clinical population.Methods: Of 800 articles 
      identified by electronic and hand searches, 35 were included. Twenty-one articles 
      included data on the validity of the ISWT, 18 on the reliability, four on the 
      responsiveness,and four on the interpretability.Results: Most of the studies were 
      conducted in patients with COPD (n = 13) or cardiac disease(n = 8). For criterion 
      validity, comparisons between distance covered during the ISWT and peak oxygen 
      consumption reported correlations ranging from 0.67 to 0.95 ( P <.01). Intraclass 
      correlation coefficients for test-retest reliability ranged from 0.76 to 0.99. 
      The ISWT was shown to be responsive to pulmonary rehabilitation and 
      bronchodilator administration. The minimal clinically important difference (MCID) 
      in patients with COPD was 48 m. Predictive equations for the distance in the ISWT 
      are available for healthy individuals.Conclusions: The ISWT can be considered a 
      valid and reliable test to assess maximal exercise capacity in individuals with 
      chronic respiratory diseases. The ISWT has been shown to be responsive to 
      pulmonary rehabilitation and bronchodilator use in individuals with COPD, cystic 
      fibrosis,and asthma. Further studies examining responsiveness and the MCID of the 
      ISWT in patients with conditions other than lung diseases are required for the 
      interpretation of interventions in other populations.
