It may be a free, or ordinary, walk in which relaxed extended action allows the horse freedom of its head and neck, but contact with the mouth is maintained; or it may be a collected walk, a short-striding gait full of impulsion, or vigour; or it may be an extended walk of long, unhurried strides.
As such, an extended walk test is no more useful as a research tool than the shorter walk tests in this population and yet is more arduous.
Prior to undertaking the definitive study, a pilot survey of patients awaiting knee and hip replacement was performed to determine a time parameter for an extended walk test which may be functionally relevant for this patient group.
The overarching aims of this study were to compare the performance of TKA recipients in an extended walk test to healthy age-matched controls and to determine the utility of this extended walk test as a research tool to evaluate longer term functional mobility in TKA recipients.
The main hypotheses to be addressed were that: TKA recipients one year post-surgery will perform significantly worse than age-matched healthy controls in an extended walk test; the shorter walk tests will not predict performance in the longer walk test, and; the longer walk test will be a stronger predictor of self-reported function and physical activity than the shorter walk tests.
However, for research demonstrating long-term functional recovery after TKA an extended walk test may be more useful as an outcome measure for several reasons.

Still, the Jets were restrained Tuesday in an extended walk-through, with players still recovering from the defeat.
Rhee et al. [8] compared the Levy walk model, which is an extended random walk model, with the human mobility, based on GPS traces of 101 volunteers.
The extended walk, a variation of the relaxed walk, results in a cadenced swing of long, unhurried strides.
We contend, therefore, if an extended mobility test has greater correlation with perceived function simply because it may be more 'functional', then the extended walk could be a close proxy for self-reported function (or vice versa).
Lisdey Ortiz boarded a flight to Mexico, making her own extended walk toward the U.S. border with a broken suitcase.
