Subgroup MCID: 2-Minute Walk Test Results for Subacute Stroke Patients

A 2026 prospective cohort study of 150 adults within 180 days post-stroke from seven rehabilitation centers in Pakistan. The dataset contains results from a study determining the minimally clinically important difference (MCID) for the 2-Minute Walk Test (2MWT) after 6–8 weeks of standard rehabilitation. It was authored by Muslim Khan and shared under a CC-BY-4.0 license.

Use Cases

• Validate the 33-meter MCID benchmark for the 2-Minute Walk Test based on the reported sensitivity and specificity.
• Analyze correlations between mobility gains and patient-reported outcomes like the ABC_Gait scale.
• Investigate the consistency of MCID values across different patient subgroups such as age and stroke type.
• Use the baseline and post-rehabilitation 2MWT distances to model functional recovery trajectories.

Strengths

• Includes results from a cohort of 150 participants with specific inclusion criteria (e.g., <180 days post-stroke, MMSE ≥24).
• Reports a precise MCID value of 33 meters with a 95% confidence interval (30–36 meters) and validation metrics (87% sensitivity, 82% specificity).
• Contains detailed pre- and post-intervention 2MWT distances (mean 62.5 ± 38.4 meters to 98.7 ± 42.1 meters).

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Data is limited to a specific subacute stroke population in Pakistan, which may affect generalizability.
