PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to determine the effects of a 6-week interactive video dance game (IVDG) program on adult participants' cardiorespiratory status and body mass index (BMI). METHODS: Twenty-seven healthy adult participants attended IVDG sessions over a 6-week period. Participants completed pre- and post-testing consisting of a submaximal VO(2) treadmill test, assessment of resting heart rate (RHR) and blood pressure (BP), BMI, and general health questionnaires...

PURPOSE: To determine the safety and feasibility of early physical therapy in the intensive care unit in a patient with biventricular assist device. METHODS: Physical therapy started on the first postoperative day and continued till discharge including airway clearance, lower/upper extremity exercises, and mobilization. Heart rate (HR), respiratory rate (RR), systolic/diastolic/mean arterial pressures, peripheral oxygen saturation, and double product were recorded before treatment, after treatment, and 5 minutes after treatment...

PURPOSE: Standardized patients (SP) in Doctor of Physical Therapy (DPT) curricula are increasingly used for students to practice developing clinical reasoning, communication, and professional skills in an authentic learning environment. The purposes of this article are to: (1) describe an instructional model that synthesized SPs, Internet-based communities of practice, and reflection to teach clinical reasoning in DPT students; and (2) a cardiovascular and pulmonary physical therapy (CPPT) instructor's perspective on the educational process and student clinical skill development...

PURPOSE: Little is known about limitations in physical function across BMI categories in middle aged women using both self-report and performance-based measures. Furthermore, the impact of BMI on the measurement of function has not been explored. The purpose of this study was to assess physical function in adult women across BMI categories using self-report and performance-based measures and determine the influence of BMI on the relationship between the measures. METHODS: Fifty sedentary females (10 in each BMI category: normal weight, overweight, obese class I, II, and III) aged 51...

JOURNAL ARTICLE

PURPOSE: Most patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) complain of dyspnea during and following exercise, and the development of intrinsic positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) is thought to contribute to lung hyperinflation and dyspnea. Many people with COPD use pursed lip breathing (PLB) in an attempt to produce extrinsic PEEP to reduce lung hyperinflation and dyspnea during and following exertion. We hypothesized that the use of a threshold, extrinsic PEEP device would reduce post-exercise dyspnea in people with COPD...

At 90 years of age, the APTA may be facing some of the greatest national and global challenges of its history. Membership has grown from 238 in 1921 to over 70,000 in 2011, but the expansion of the APTA may be restrictive to individual participation. A leadership gap appears imminent in practice and education. Fostering every member to understand the APTA and its great work is essential to ensuring a profession that lives its core values and meets societal needs. The Linda Crane Memorial Lecture in 2011 celebrated a vision of the APTA's 100th birthday with every member serving as a "professional centenarian" who stewards the organization to continued greatness...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: The projected increase in persons with advanced heart failure and associated costs warrant the examination of exercise in patients receiving inotropic therapy. Literature supports the use of exercise and inotropic therapy in the treatment of patients with advanced heart failure. The purposes of this paper are to illustrate the use of exercise prescription and outcomes assessment with a 6-minute walk test in a patient with acute decompensated heart failure receiving tailored therapy with dobutamine and to discuss potential relationships resulting in observed improvements...

Vital sign measurement and assessment are important components of the review of systems in a physical therapy examination for individuals with and without documented cardiopulmonary disease. The measurement of blood pressure gives the therapist information regarding the patient's baseline cardiovascular status, response to exercise/activity, and guides exercise prescription. Accurate measurement of blood pressure is critical for making appropriate clinical decisions especially if physical therapists wish to play an important role as primary health care providers...

PURPOSE: The purposes of this clinical perspective paper are (1) to expand physical therapists' awareness to the topic of air quality as a health priority when providing professional services; and (2) to provide templates for screening the indoor clinical environments and patient profiles to avert respiratory exacerbations, especially in persons with asthma. SUMMARY OF KEY POINTS: The location where a physical therapist practices determines the air quality indices to which a person is exposed...

PURPOSE: This case series describes the effect of home intravenous (IV) antibiotic therapy on spirometry and exercise capacity in a group of children with cystic fibrosis (CF). METHODS: Outcomes from 10 children with CF who were prescribed a 14-day course of home IV antibiotics for a respiratory exacerbation are reported. All children performed spirometry and a modified shuttle test (MST) before and after 14-days of home IV therapy. RESULTS: After 14 days, FEV(1) increased by mean (± SE) 12 ± 4 % (p < 0...

JOURNAL ARTICLE

The processes that occur with normal sternal healing and potential complications related to median sternotomy are of particular interest to physical therapists. The premise of patients following sternal precautions (SP) or specific activity restrictions is the belief that avoiding certain movements will reduce risk of sternal complications. However, current research has identified that many patients remain functionally impaired long after cardiothoracic surgery. It is possible that some SP may contribute to such functional impairments...

#79
JOURNAL ARTICLE
Lisa W McVey, Ellen Hillegass
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Cardiac rehabilitation (CR) promotes positive outcomes following coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) surgery. Patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD), who have an increased risk of cardiac mortality and mobility, have also experienced positive outcomes following CABG. However, participation in CR continues to be limited due to lack of physician referrals, patient compliance, accessibility, and time. Can a CR program be implemented safely and effectively following CABG in a patient during dialysis sessions? CASE DESCRIPTION: The patient was a 43-year-old male with a history of: ESRD requiring hemodialysis (HD), CABG, hypertension (HTN), and hyperlipidemia...

BACKGROUND: The American Association of Cardiovascular and Pulmonary Rehabilitation (AACVPR) recommends health related quality of life (HRQL) measurement with all cardiovascular and pulmonary patients. The current pattern of use of HRQL measurement among cardiovascular and pulmonary physical therapists is unknown. OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the pattern of use of HRQL measurement among cardiovascular and pulmonary physical therapists. DESIGN: The study used a semi-structured interview format within the context of 3 focus groups...
