    BackgroundWalking is part of obesity management. Assessment of ventilatory impairments and consequences for gait induced by obesity could be clinically helpful. We aimed to develop a method to accurately monitor ventilation with respiratory inductive plethysmography (RIP) in subjects with high body mass indices (BMIs) during a 6-min walk test (6MWT).Methods25 volunteers were divided into 2 groups based on BMI (<25 or >30 kg/m2) and performed a 6MWT with a calibrated RIP. Ventilatory parameters (tidal volume [V(T)], inspiratory [T(I)] and expiratory [T(E)] times, V(T)/T(I) ratio, and T(I)/Ttot ratio) were determined after processing RIP signals with a custom-made algorithm designed to discriminate tissue motion artifacts and respiratory cycles in the time domain. Six-min walk distance and average speed by minute were collected.ResultsThe number of artifacts removed by the algorithm used for artifact removal was higher for high-BMI subjects and was correlated to their individual values (r = 0.66, P < .001). Six-min walk distance was lower for the group with a higher BMI (P = .001). ANOVA revealed effects of exercise for V(T), T(I), and T(E) (P < .001) and also BMI effects in the course of the 6MWT for V(T), T(I), T(E), V(T)/T(I), and T(I)/Ttot (P < .001 for each of them).ConclusionsThis respiratory monitoring method is sufficiently sensitive to point out differences between rest and exercise as well as locomotor and ventilatory differences relative to BMI during the 6MWT. Thus, this system gives useful information from the 6MWT for clinicians who want to assess respiratory patterns of patients during this commonly used test.Copyright © 2016 by Daedalus Enterprises.
