topic 9 - exercise measures Flashcards
what can the BCTT/BCBT/CCCT be used to help determine
if symptoms present following concussion are physiologic
what is the CCCT
calgary concussion cycle test (adapted from BCTT)
how does the CCCT work
females starting wattage and each stage is 0.11x body weight
males starting wattage and each stage is 0.14x body weight
allows for equal changes with each stage
bike test is inclusive for those with vision impariments and can be adapted to a arm ergometer
how to adapt the CCCT to an arm ergometer
use 10RM bicep curl
~7lbs difference = 1watt increase in workloads
what does the symptom evaluation pre and post exercise tell us
differences between baseline and post exercise - what the exercise exacerbated
can help to see what specialist is required
what types of headaches do NOT have a symptom limiting threshold
vestibular/ocular
affective
migraine (test not performed with migraine)
cervicogenic
what types of headaches have a distinct symptom limiting threshold
physiologic
are all symptom increases after exercise concussion related
no
symptoms like fatigue and feeling slowed down are expected to change following exercise
some symptoms should change and others shouldn’t
