Iwona Flashcards
What is 1.0-2.5 METs
Dusting, bathing (sitting),waking at slow pack, light office work (sitting), making
bed
What is 2.6-4.0 METs
Moderate (walk, run, play), raking lawn, walking downstairs, motorcycle riding,
water aerobics, very light stationary biking
What is 4.0-6.0 METs
Major house cleaning, weeding, carpentry on house, dance aerobics, walk/jog
(jogging less than 10 min), Elliptical (mod effort)
What is 6.0-10 METs
Shoveling, carrying object 50-74 lbs, carrying groceries upstairs, running 10-12 min
mile, moving furniture, high-impact aerobics
What is Measuring Muscular Endurance?
Measured by the amount of lactic acid build up in the blood
What is Dynamic assessment ? Provide examples
reps /unit of time (Box and Block Test)(Functional
Capacity Evaluation, BTE work simulation)
What is Static assessment?
time contraction is held
How to Increase Endurance?
Low intensity with high reps and Graded by intensity or time
what is example of increasing endurance #1 ?
Progressing from picking tomatoes in a garden to weeding
what is example of increasing endurance #2 ?
Increased about of time spent engaging in occupations independently
What is endurance?
is a reflection of cardiovascular state and fitness level
physiological
What is fatigue?
is a subjective feeling of being exhausted. It is multi-dimensional
Includes cognitive, behavioral, physical and emotional components
Often not relived by rest
Can interfere with sleep
Fatigue can affect patients memory, attention and learning abilities
Associated with increased pain, depression, decreased functional ability
Fluctuating diagnosis (fibromyalgia) difficult to predict levels of fatigue day to
day
Fatigue can be increased by fitness level and/or decreased cardiovascular state
What is Multidimensional Assessment of Fatigue?
16 item scale that measures fatigue across to four dimensions: degree and severity, distress that it causes, timing of fatigue, and its impact on various activities of daily living
What is Fatigue Severity Scale?
9-item self report scale that measures the severity of fatigue and its effect on a person’s activities
What is max heart rate?
Age - 220= HR
What is rate of perceived exertion ( PRE) ( Borg scale)?
Patient rated, 15 point scale from 6-20 (20 max exertion).
What is metabolic equivalent level?
One MET = basal metabolic rate
( amount of O2 consumption necessary to maintain metabolic process of the body at rest) 3.5 mL of O2 per kg of the body weight/min)
What is muscular endurance?
Muscles engaged during the task can continue to work without fatigue.
What is cardiovascular endurance ?
During continues physical activity both the circulatory and respiratory systems must supply adequate O2 to continue the task.
What do you need to do to increase endurance?
Lower resistance, higher reps
