Several Reference Equations for prediction of the total distance walked during the test (6 MWD) are available in literature. The present review aimed to critically discuss studies, published in Portuguese and English (LILACS, SCIELO, MEDLINE, PUBMED), which evaluated normal values and created Reference Equations for predicting 6 MWD in healthy subjects, comparing them with the results that were recently obtained in Brazilian individuals.
