Pre-Post Outcomes for 2-Minute Walk Test in Subacute Stroke Patients

150 adults from seven rehabilitation centers in Pakistan underwent 6–8 weeks of standard rehabilitation, with their 2-Minute Walk Test (2MWT) distance measured before and after. The dataset, created by Muslim Khan and last updated in 2026, was used to calculate a Minimally Clinically Important Difference (MCID) of 33 meters for the 2MWT. It also includes secondary outcome measures like the Activities-specific Balance Confidence gait subscale and the Modified Barthel Index.

Use Cases

• Validate the 33-meter MCID threshold for the 2-Minute Walk Test based on the anchor-based method described.
• Analyze correlations between primary (2MWT) and secondary outcome measures (ABC_Gait, MBI) mentioned in the study.
• Model mobility improvement predictors in subacute stroke patients based on pre-post intervention data.
• Benchmark rehabilitation program effectiveness using the reported mean improvement from 62.5 to 98.7 meters.

Strengths

• Dataset is focused on a specific, clinically relevant outcome (2MWT MCID) validated with 87% sensitivity and 82% specificity.
• Includes data from 150 participants across seven centers, providing a multi-site perspective.
• Results show a strong correlation (r=0.68) between 2MWT and ABC_Gait change scores, supporting internal validity.

Limitations

• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Data reflects a specific geographic (Pakistan) and clinical (subacute stroke) context, which may limit generalizability.
