Q
In patients with neuromuscular disease, which measurement is shown to be the most influential in determining the intensity of their aerobic exercise?
(a) 70%-85% maximum heart rate
(b) 60%-80% of heart rate reserve
(c) Borg scale of perceived exertion
(d) Delayed-onset muscle soreness
A
D
Maximum heart rate and cardiac reserve are the same goals for able bodied and neuromuscular patients.
An unusual amount of delayed-onset muscle soreness is a sign to decrease the intensity of the program going forward. (Braddom)
