Outcome measures

Question 1

30 second Chair Stand/Rise Test tells you:

Answer 1

Provides baseline functional capacity and LE strength for those who cant tolerate 6MWT

Question 2

Administer 30 second Chair stand test:

Answer 2

Measure how many times person can STS w/o UE over 30 sec

Demonstrate 1st
Chair-17 in high
Practice 2x
Range - age group

Question 3

5 Times STS tell you:

Answer 3

Measures LE strength/quantify functional progress

Time how long it takes for pt to STS 5x - cant do = fail
No UE
Note level of assist

Question 4

Seated Step Test

Answer 4

Monitor HR

Improvements = lower HR found at e/ phase, patients time theyre able to participate w/o fatigue increases

Use BORG

Question 4

Seated Step Test

Answer 4

Monitor HR

Improvements = lower HR found at e/ phase, patients time theyre able to participate w/o fatigue increases

Use BORG

Question 5

2 Min Step test if for pts:

Answer 5

Able to stand upright, but are limited in mobility due to monitoring/ventilatory equipment

Tests physical endurance

Question 6

2 Min Step test if for pts:

Answer 6

Able to stand upright, but are limited in mobility due to monitoring/ventilatory equipment

Tests physical endurance

Question 7

How do you administer the 2 Min Step test?

Answer 7

*Measure HR, BP, and RR before and after test

Stand facing wall
Line marked b/w patella and iliac crest
Count # of times full steps completed in 2 min (# R knee reaches marked height)

*Dont count steps that dont make it to the line

Question 8

2 Min Step test score that places them at a “higher risk” category?

Answer 8

less than 65 steps

Question 9

Modified Shuffle test used to:

Answer 9

Evaluation - pt during incremental and progressive exercise stress (shows greater CV response than 6MWT)

COPD, CF, RA, MI, CABG

Question 10

Modified Shuffle test used to:

Answer 10

Evaluation - pt during incremental and progressive exercise stress (shows greater CV response than 6MWT)

COPD, CF, RA, MI, CABG

Question 11

Modified Shuffle test admin:

Answer 11

Walk to an audio sound at 10-meter length (like beep test)
Speed - INC over 12 levels (by 0.17 m/s)

Question 12

Timed Up and Go assess:

Answer 12

Fall risk in elderly
Functional outcome tool for heart failure / pulmonary pts

Sit in chair, 3m/10ft course is marked, time taken to walk there and back

> 13 sec = fall risk

Question 13

Gait Speed used to:

Answer 13

Predict future health status, functional decline, and re-hospitlaizations across muliple dx (older adults, frail elderly, stroke pts)

Question 14

Gait Speed Test

Answer 14

“walk normal speed” along 6m path, speed measured

Distance walked / # of seconds it required then converted to feet/second

Question 15

Gait Speed ranges =

Answer 15

> 1.0 m/s = Low fall risk

< 0.6 m/s = HIGH fall risk

0.4 m/s Homebound

Question 16

Borg Scale of Perceived Exertion

Answer 16

Used to assess pt’s level of exertion @ rest/activity

“how hard do you feel like youre working?’
6 (not hard) - 20 (max effort)

modified borg 0-10

Question 17

Ventilatory Response Index (VRI)

Answer 17

Assess how many breaths a pt needs to take in order to count aloud to 15
Metronome for pace - 7.5 seconds total

Scale of 0-4:
0 = count to 15 aloud NO breath
1 = 1 breath needed
2 = 2 breaths needed
