Este estudo objetivou determinar a confiabilidade do teste da caminhada de seis minutos (TC6M) como um teste de capacidade funcional em pacientes com miastenia gravis generalizada (MG). Foram selecionados 11 pacientes com MG - 5 homens, 6 mulheres - com idade de 55±9 anos, avaliados inicialmente quanto à função fulmonar, que se submeteram a três TC6M em dias diferentes. Durante e/ou após cada teste foram medidas freqüência cardíaca e saturação de oxigênio (por oxímetro portátil), sensação de dispnéia (pela escala de Borg) e distância percorrida. Nos três testes as distâncias percorridas foram 498 m, 517 m e 520 m (respectivamente 99%, 103% e 104% do valor predito). Em média, a freqüência cardíaca, dispnéia e saturação de oxigênio mostraram comportamento constante nos três testes. Foram encontradas alta confiabilidade relativa, com coeficiente de correlação interclasse maior que 0,90 entre os testes (TC6M1-TC6M2, 0,960; TC6M1-TC6M3, 0,945; e TC6M2-TC6M3, 0,970) e confiabilidade absoluta de 4%, 3,5% e 4,8%, com reprodutibilidade de 11%, 9,8% e 13,4%, respectivamente para o primeiro, segundo e terceiro testes. Os limites superiores e inferiores de concordância e o valor médio das médias das diferenças (bias) calculados pelo teste de Bland-Altman mostraram-se clinicamente aceitáveis. Conclui-se que o TC6M se mostrou seguro, confiável e reprodutível, podendo ser aplicado para avaliação e seguimento da tolerância ao exercício em pacientes com MG generalizada. The purpose of this study was to assess the reliability of the six minutes walking test (6MWT) as a functional capacity test for patients with generalized myasthenia gravis (MG). Eleven patients with generalized MG (5 men, six women), aged 55±9 years, were first assessed as to pulmonary function and then submitted to three 6MWT in different days. Heart rate and oxygen saturation were measured (by means of portable oxymeter) during, and dyspnea (by the Borg scale) and distance walked were measured after, each test. At the three tests distances walked were 498 m, 517 m and 520 m (respectively 99%, 103%, and 104% of predicted values). Mean heart rate, oxygen saturation, and dyspnea values showed constant behaviour through the three tests. A high relative reliability was found between the tests, with interclass coefficient correlation over 0.90 (6MWT1-6MWT2, 0.960; 6MWT1-6MWT3, 0.945; and 6MWT2-6MWT3, 0.970); absolute reliability of 4%, 3.5% and 4.8%, as well as good repeatability of 11%, 9.8% and 13.4% were found for respectively the first, second, and third tests. Upper and lower agreement limits, as well as bias mean values by the Bland-Altman test show clinically acceptability. It may hence be said that the 6MWT proved safe, reliable and reproducible, and may be used for exercise tolerance assessment and follow up of patients with generalized myasthenia gravis
