Groups Flashcards
physical activity and exercise prescription for stroke survivors
- Low to moderate intensity aerobic activity
- Muscle strengthening activity
- Reduction of sedentary behavior
- Risk management for prevention of additional stroke
- Social engagement
- Depression management
physical activity for Parkinson’s Disease
Positive impact on physical capacities and
functional capacities in adults with Parkinson’s Disease
Aerobic Exercise to Improve Cognitive Function in Adults with Neurological Conditions
Emerging evidence suggests that there is a
relationship between physical activity levels and cognitive function in adults
how much aerobic exercise do you need for symptoms management and to slow progression of neurological conditions
30 minutes of mod intensity 4 times a week
why do patients with neurological conditions need strict supervision
may not be able to accurately reflect/understand their vital signs and response to activity (both high and low)
Calculate Target Heart Rate with Karvonen Formula and heart rate reserve
*220-age= maximum heart rate
*Maximum heart rate-resting heart rate=heart rate reserve
*Heart rate rage
*Heart rate reserve x 60% + resting heart rate= low range
*Heart rate reserve x 75% + resting heart rate= high range
RPE should be
equal to 13 on 6-20 scale
Post MI/CHF
(less than 3 weeks post- HR <= 120 beats/min or HR rest + 20 beats/min)
post surgery < 3 weeks
HR rest + 30 beats/min
physical activity guidelines for americans from the CDC (including adults over 65)
*2 ½ hours of moderate intensity physical aerobic activity every week AND
*Muscle strengthening activities on 2 or more days a week that work all major muscle areas
CDC- Aerobic activity
Must be at least 10 minutes in length and
moderate intensity means that you are working hard enough to raise your heart rate and break a sweat
class exercise program
- Strengthening- UE/LE
- Balance- Sitting or standing
Wheelchair- Wheelchair endurance or navigation - Gait- Ambulation distance, Adaptability Community Re-entry Activities
- Aerobic Conditioning- Mixture of use of
bike, walking
circuit training
- Multiple participants
- Series of workstations focused on specific objective/goals
- Work stations are organized in a circuit so multiple participants can be active at the same time
- Considerations of progressions
- Considerations of patient supervision/support needed by individual and task assessments
Wevers et al found
medium sized significantly significant effects in
favor of task-oriented circuit class training for walking distance, gait speed, and the TUG
Guidelines for developing/evaluating class or double/group environment
*Punctuality
*Safety
*Program Intent
*Delivery
*Demonstration
*Pacing of Class/Group/Double
*Patient Supervision
*Supervision and Utilization of Personnel
*Equipment needs
*Initiative
