Q

(Research paper: treadmill on stroke):

clinical implications

A

1) plateau in locomotor recovery within 11 weeks post stroke, no longer true
2) VO2 post stroke = 50% of age-matched sedentary healthy individuals. Increases in peak fitness = increase in ADLs performance
3) increase in walking speed = better at crossing street and potential to be more independant
4) age and time since injury and gait deficit severity did not predict improvement in VO2 or walking speed

Q

Four differences in VO2 max between able bodied people and those with disability

A

people with disabilities have lower VO2 max depending on:

1) limited exercising muscle (2/3 of muscle mass form legs)
2) impairment in ANS regulation of cardiac and circulating functions (pooling of blood)
3) motor dysfunction (spasticity, athetosis)
4) pain or fatigue (indirect effects)

Q

ANS dysfunction commonly seen in:

A

Quadraplegia, high paraplegia (?), multiple sclerosis, TBI (b_r_a_in__st_e_m_)

30
Q

Below T5, ANS is ____

A

ok, heart is intact

31
Q

What does ANS controls do to the arterioles and capillaries?

A

Widening of the small arterioles and capillaries



32
Q

How does ANS maintain BP?

A

Maintain BP by decreasing flow to inactive muscles and organs

If vasodilation of active muscles is uncompensated by vasocons-
triction in inactive organs =
Decreased BP can create exercise hypotension (low BP)

33
Q

HR in ANS dysfunction

A

max HR may be reduced
around 12 bpm (highest)

at lesions at or above T1-T5

34
Q

ANS dysfunction in regards to BP and force of heart

A

Diminished BP response to exercise

Force of heart muscle may be reduced

Can also decrease venous tone (lack of vasoconstriction)

35
Q

ANS dysfunction is commonly associated with who?

A

quadriplegia and occasionally paraplegia (high) and MS and TBI

36
Q

Which 2 factors might cause decreased breathing capacity after SCI?

A

SCI at or above the 5th cervical level (diaphragm problems, need breathing assistance)

SCI at the thoracic level (T2-T8) poliomyelitis, MS. Causes decrease in rib cage expansion and therefore decreased intercostal muscle function

37
Q

What other problems arise with SCI at T5 and above?

A

Affects Adrenal gland function, which release epi and norepi. These catecholamines can act upon heart and arterial circulation to facilitate cardiovascular adjustment to exercise (increase HR, blood flow distribution and BP maintnance)

SCI AT T5 OR ABOVE = ABSENSE OF CATECHOLAMINES! SO THERE IS A DECREASED VENOUS RETURN, DECREASED CO FROM DECREASED SV.

38
Q

FES is what? what does it promote?

A

FES is functional electrical stimulation, which promotes SV and increases CO. Thats why on the graph the line for those with FES was higher while standing, whereas those without FES decreased their stroke volume more. p. 288

39
Q

is the venous system only a passive system?

A

no active too

40
Q

Veins store the majority of blood at rest. _____ of total blood volume.

A

70%

41
Q

Where theres lack of vasoconstriction (lack of sympathetic NS) …

A

pooling of blood in legs occurs

42
Q

decreased cerebral blood flow can lead to

A

syncope

43
Q

What are 2 ways to help prevent ANS dysfunction?

A

increase venous return and prevent hyperthermia

44
Q

How to increase venous return

A

 Exercise in a horizontal posture (in water or on the ground)

 Use of abdominal binders and support stockings

45
Q

How to prevent hyperthermia

A

maintain full hydration

minimize alcohol and caffeine

46
Q

How does ANS dysfunction impair sweating during exercise (and cause hyperthermia)

A

ANS dysfunction can impair sweating during exercise:
decreases Heat evaporation = increased body temperature

\+

decreased venous circulation = decreased dissipation of heat from exercising muscle

WHICH EQUALS:

Risk of hyperthermia
47
Q

Why should you minimize caffeine or alcohol to prevent hyperthermia?

A

they are diuretic drugs which increase production of urine

48
Q

Hyperthermia symtpoms

A
  • Elevated body temperature
  • Visual disturbances
  • Headache
  • Feeling of weakness, dizziness , nausea
  • Pulse may be rapid, irregular or weak
49
Q

how does not having ANS dysfunction affect Q=HR X SV?

PARAPLEGIA

A

activation of sympathetic NS
hypokinesis (decrease in bood circ) –> blood pooling of legs (due to decreased exercising muscle mass) –> decreased stroke volume –> decreased cardiac output

Q = HR X SV

ONLY Q AND SV AFFECTED

50
Q

how does having ANS dysfunction affect Q=HR X SV?

QUADRIPLEGIA

A

hypokinesis (decrease in bood circ) –> blood pooling of legs (due to decreased exercising muscle mass AND ANS DYSFUNCTION) –> decreased stroke volume –> decreased cardiac output AND HR plus adrenergic dysfunction

Q = HR X SV

ALL AFFECTED

51
Q

Despite smaller muscle mass, max HR and systolic BP during arm exercise =

A

Only slightly lower than leg exercise

52
Q

WHY? High level of ___________ stimulation equilibrates some of the effects

A

sympathetic

53
Q

Normal arm muscle mass is _____ leg muscle mass

A

2/3

54
Q

Arm vs leg exercises: arm training produces _____ SV and anaerobic threshold and ______ VO2, HR, systolic BP and lactic acid levels

A

lower

higher

55
Q

Arm exercises do not ________ SV and Q as
effectively as leg exercises: not the mode of choice for central cardiovascular conditioning


A

increase

56
Q

The less muscle mass, cardio and ANS integrity =

A

the lower the initial exercise tolerance

57
Q

Arm or leg exercise with small or weak muscle: The limiting factor to exercise will be _____________ and not _______________ (fatigue due to muscle atrophy and not cardio capacity)

A

the muscle itself, cardio capacity

THIS IS DIFFERENT VERSUS AB PEOPLE
