Final Exam Flashcards
What are some of the barriers to optimal practice patterns?
- Care based on Reimbursement instead of evidence-based
- Limited incentives for high-quality transitional care (lack of ACO’s)
- Fear of adverse events, penalties, or litigation
- Current emphasis is on returning pts to PLOF which was already low
- Lack of awareness of more effective clinical care strategies
Anaerobic Metabolism
- doesn’t require O2
- utilizes one molecule of glucose
- occurs in the cytoplasm
- by-product is lactic acid
- yields net 2 ATP
Aerobic Metabolism
- Uses carbs, fats and proteins
- occurs in the mitochondria
- by-products war H2O and CO2
- Yields net 36 ATP per glucose molecule
Cells that use aerobic metabolism
heart, CNS, PNS, skeletal muscle (Type I)
Cells that use anaerobic metabolism
Connective tissue cells (bone, cartilage, RBC’s); Skeletal muscle (Type II)
VO2 is (equations)
CO x a-v O2 difference
Volume of O2 entering lungs -volume of O2 leaving lungs
At what % of VO2 max does aerobic threshold usually fall?
55%
Can increase w/ training and decrease with detraining
1 MET= ________VO2
3.5mLO2/Kg*min
______MET’s is considered moderate physical activity
3-6 MET’s
______MET’s is considered vigorous physical activity
> 6MET’s
What VO2/MET level is considered disabled by Social Security?
18mL/Kg*min or ~5 MET’s
Examples of Symptom limited graded tests
Treadmill–Bruce, modified Bruce, Balke, Naughton
Can use cycle ergometer for people w/ balance disorders, obesity or WBing precuations/restricitons
Drawback of Submax testing
Tend to udnerestimate VO2 max in untrained and overestimate in the trained
