A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This observational study investigates the validity and reliability of a mixed reality–based 6-minute walk test (MR-6MWT) for assessing functional exercise capacity in asymptomatic adults. Participants perform a standard 6-minute walk test using mixed reality guidance and measurement to capture minute-by-minute performance changes, including the distance walked index. The aim is to determine whether MR technology can standardize measurements and reveal performance dynamics not captured by total distance alone. The study will analyze measurement consistency across sessions and explore how MR data reflect walking endurance during daily activities. The lead site is Selcuk University in Konya, with adult volunteers meeting defined inclusion and exclusion criteria.

Why it matters

Who can join: the full rules

Inclusion Criteria:

* Aged between 18 and 65 years,
* Asymptomatic, with no known or active cardiopulmonary, neurological, or musculoskeletal disease-related symptoms,
* Ability to ambulate independently without the use of an assistive device,
* Visual, auditory, and vestibular functions sufficient to tolerate mixed reality applications,
* Cognitive ability sufficient to understand and follow test instructions,
* Ability to read, understand, and follow instructions in Turkish,
* Willingness to participate voluntarily in the study and provision of written informed consent.

Exclusion Criteria:

* Inability to safely complete walking tests due to serious musculoskeletal conditions (e.g., recent fracture, severe arthritis, advanced osteoarthritis, significant muscle or tendon injury),
* Presence of severe cardiopulmonary disease or any medical condition that may pose a risk during exercise testing (e.g., uncontrolled hypertension, heart failure, severe arrhythmia history, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease),
* High risk of balance loss or spatial disorientation in the mixed reality environment due to vestibular, visual, or auditory impairments,
* History of epilepsy or neurological conditions contraindicating mixed reality or head-mounted device use,
* Severe migraine, significant motion sickness history, or high risk of dizziness/nausea during mixed reality applications,
* Cognitive impairment or severe psychiatric conditions preventing understanding or completion of test procedures,
* Insufficient motivation or cooperation that may interfere with safe participation in the study.
