hi

if its for oxygen when exercising and moving around. Iam surprised it was not conducted at PR. It is the same six minute walk test, with your sats checked every minute, with varying degrees of oxygen.

Mine was done at PR confirmed by oxygen team 6/7 weeks later.

Really, I had a stats machine on all through my 8 was of rehab because my oxygen levels kept dropping and I had to keep stopping if they dropped below 88, but it wasn't until I had finished rehab and had my final assessment ,I received a letter in the post saying they had referred me for home oxygen to use during exercise
