The 2 Minute Step Test (TMST) with Nicole Nexon & Tali Speizman We in the PT community continue to need to be adaptive to current events - and we need to continue to provide high quality, evidence based care. While we can all agree that the 6 minute walk test is highly useful for determining exercise capacity, shortage of space is an issue in inpatient AND outpatient settings. If you're feeling that crunch for space because of social distancing in the clinic or in room isolation precautions, this episode has got you covered.
