Q

Phase II consists of several components, what are the physical Activity Core components?

A
  • EVALUATION: assess current Physical Activity level and readiness to change behaviors.
  • INTERVENTIONS: Advice, support, counseling, follow up
  • EXPECTED OUTCOMES: increased participation in physical activity and aerobic fitness, well being.

Q

What are the Exercise Training Core components of phase II cardiac rehab?

A
  • EVALUATION: Symptom limited exercise test to monitor HR, rhythm, s/s, perceived exertion, capacity
  • INTERVENTIONS: Individual exercise program, FITT and Progress
  • EXPECTED OUTCOMES: Increased aerobic capacity, strength, flexibility and reduced symptoms, improved risk factor profile, and improved QOL

  • Training effects are expected
  • No cardiac symptoms
  • EKG is used sometimes or when increasing activity parameters
  • pts learn self-monitoring of HR and symptoms

Q

You are assessing a patient with a nasty wound on the lower calf and capillary refill of big toe is >8 seconds. What is a probable diagnosis for this patient?

A

PVD: poor wound healing and poor vascular perfusion of lower leg.

17
Q

You suspect that your patient is having lower limb problems, and you suspect PVD. What test could you have them perform to help confirm your hypothesis?

A

Active Pedal Plantarflexion (APP) Intermittent CLaudication test.
or
ABI

18
Q

You have a patient with PAD (peripheral artery disease), what type of exercise prescription is appropriate?

A

Ambulation to modest to moderat pain (grade 1 or 2 on claudication scale), rest, repeat for 30-60 minutes a day.

19
Q

Typical outcome measures for PAD/PVC include?

A 
ICD- initial claudication distance
ACD-absolute claudication distance 
Self reporting walking limitations
Peak vo2
QOL
20
Q

THe following are characteristics of individuals with symptomatic what?

  • Adult age 65
  • Peak VO2 is 50% of age-predicted normal
  • ICD (initial claudication distance) 110 meters
  • Sedentary
21
Q

What are effective interventions for PAD?

A

Medication to control risk factors
Medication to improve claudication
Surgery
EXERCISE TRAINING! (home, supervised, dynamic)

22
Q
