Objective: To examine 10-m comfortable walking speed and 6-minute distance in healthy individuals and individuals after stroke and to assess the level of disability associated with poor walking endurance after stroke.Design: Descriptive study in which comfortable walking speed over 10 m and distance covered in 6 minutes (6-minute walk test) were compared between healthy subjects and subjects after stroke.Subjects: Twelve healthy subjects and 14 subjects after stroke.Main outcome measures: Walking speed and 6-minute distances were compared between groups. In addition, for each group, actual distance walked in 6 minutes was compared with the distance predicted by the 10-m walking speed test and the distance predicted by normative reference equations.Results: Subjects after stroke had significant reductions in 10-m speed and 6-minute distance compared with healthy subjects (p
