Q

Type: Early Rehab

A
  • Exercise should be discontinuous (Interval Training)
  • Frequent rest periods
  • Then progress to continuous training

Q

Type: Resistance Training

A
  • Typically incorporated in water stages of rehab following a period of aerobic conditioning.
  • Typically performed at 60-80% of a 1 or 10 RM
  • Rate pressure product is used to monitor response to exercise.

Q

Type: Resistance Training: Red Flag: Valsalva Maneuver

A

Carefully monitor for Valsalva Maneuver which is:

- Forced exhalation against a closed airway

Q

Type: Resistance Training: Red Flag: Valsalva Maneuver: Causes

Q

Intensity: Heart Rate: Pacemaker

A

Q

Intensity: Ratings of Perceived Exertion Scale (RPE)

A
  • May be helpful if patient is on a beta blocker when HR can not be used as a measure of intensity.
  • May not be appropriate for some populations
  • May not be effective for those who are not familiar with the scale

Q

Intensity: MET’s: Problems with using MET’s alone to prescribe intensity

A
  • High intensity activities must be performed in a discontinuous pattern
  • Metabolic cost of activity can be impacted by several factors making it in precise

Q

Time

A
  • Can range fro 10-60 min
  • Moderate intensity activity usually has a time duration of 20-30 min
  • Patients level of conditioning plays a critical role in determining time of activity
17
Q

Frequency

A
  • Dependent upon intensity and duration

- Low intensity+short duration=Greater frequency

18
Q

Frequency: Time+Intensity

A
  • Mod intensity=3-5 sessions per week (Greater than 5 MET’s)

- Low Intensity=Daily or multiple daily activities (Exercise less than 5 MET’s)

19
Q

Progression: Modify Activity if

A
  • HR does not meet target HR
  • RPE is lower than it typically is for a given exercise (indicating that patient feels the exercise is easier than it has been)
  • Patient no longer has ischemia at a given exercise intensity
20
Q

Exercise: Red Flag

A

Consider reduction in exercise if

  • Acute illness. fever, flu
  • Acute injury, orthopedic complications
  • Progression of cardiac disease
  • Edema
  • Weight gain
  • Unstable angina
  • Environmental stressors
21
Q

ACSM GUIDELINES: Red Flag: Exercise Termination

A
  • Diastolic BP greater than or equal to 110 mmHG
  • Decrease in systolic BP of greater than 10 mmHG during exercise
  • Significant ventricular or atrial dysrhythmias
  • Second or third degree AV block
  • Exercise Intolerance: Angina, Dyspnea
  • ECG changes indicative of ischemia
22
Q

Prescription: Post Percutaneous Trans-luminal angioplasty

A
  • Initiate a walking program immediately

- Wait to exercise vigorously approx 2 weeks post PTCA to allow inflammatory process to subside

23
Q

Prescription: Post Coronary Artery Bypass Graft

A
  • Limit upper extremity exercise while sternal incision is healing.
  • Avoid lifting, pushing, and pulling for four to 6 weeks post surgery
