Exercise
Prescription: Testing and Interventions for the Complex Patient
June 3 & 4, 2010
Shoreline Conference Center
Greater Seattle, WA Area
Presenter: Steven Tepper, PT, PhD
Description: Endurance...how
do you know if your patient is safe to climb the stairs, walk across the room,
or jog around the block? Is your exercise program effectively increasing your
patient's endurance? Join your colleagues in the examination, selection, and
administration of specific tests and measures for patients/clients with
endurance impairment. Emphasis will be on differentiating the cause of
endurance impairment. A case-based approach will be used to demonstrate the
scientific basis of tests used in a variety of physical therapy settings to
measure endurance across the continuum. Additional examination and interventions
relevant to the cases will be discussed. A lab will enable participants to
perform different tests of endurance, vascular insufficiency, pulmonary
function, and body mass index.
Upon
completion of this course, you will be able to:
·
Differentiate
probable cause and mechanism for endurance impairments
·
Review (and
perform some of the) methods to examine endurance and other relevant impairments
·
Select the
appropriate endurance test for the cases presented
·
Realize the
importance of physiological monitoring of patients while at rest and during
exercises
·
Differentiate
when exercise/activity might be contraindicated
·
Differentiate
the signs/symptoms that would cause you to limit exercise/activity
·
Prescribe
appropriate exercise training programs for the given cases
·
Explain the
evidence revealed in the literature for endurance training
