AB  - PURPOSE: Remediation of gait problems is a key feature of neurological 
      physiotherapy We aimed to investigate the inter-rater reliability and agreement 
      of the Six Minute Walk Test (6MWT) and Ten Meter Walk Test (10MWT), at 
      comfortable walking speed, in hospitalized acute ischemic stroke patients. 
      METHOD: Forty acute first-time patients with brain stem or hemispheric ischemic 
      stroke aged 67.4 +/- 12.5 (SD), able to walk with or without an assistive device, 
      were tested by one of three physiotherapists. Test-retest reliability was 
      evaluated using a one-way random effects single measures model (1,1) absolute 
      agreement-type Interclass Correlation Coefficient (ICC). Agreement was evaluated 
      using the Standard Error of Measurement (SEM) and Smallest Detectable Change 
      (SDC). RESULTS: Both tests demonstrated good reliability; ICC(1,1) 0.83 (CI 95% 
      0.70-0.90) (6MWT) and 0.76 (CI 95% 0.59-0.87) (10MWT). The 6MWT-SEM was 27.2 m 
      (m) and the SDC was 75.4 m. The 10MWT-SEM was 0.36 meters per second (m/s) and 
      the SDC was 1.0 m/s. CONCLUSION: Both tests demonstrated good inter-rater 
      reliability, confirming their discriminative ability on a group of hospitalized 
      first-time acute ischemic stroke patients. However, the measurement error was 
      large for both tests, which is likely due to spontaneous neurological recovery 
      and stress in the acute phase severely affecting the individual-level agreement 
      estimate.
