What

is it ?

Stamina:

Work muscles harder & longer

(in order to increase the pulse rate, breathing rate)


3 – 5 days per wk

Moderate,

30-75 % VO2 Max

30 – 60 mins.

Aerobic

Fartlek

Longer build up and

build down

Avoid steps that

could cause a trip

Special Considerations for fallers

- Focus on coordination and balance

- Chair based initially then chair support

- Simple / repetitive / stable

Examples of Exercises

Marching

Side-stepping

Gait training

Toe taps

ENDURANCE

Manual 2 Section 3


What

is it ?

Maintaining upright posture during position change

(eg. Standing up and to prevent falls)


3 x per week

Increase slowly –

graded to group

10 mins – building up to 1

hour.

Dynamic balance

i.e weight transference

Varying activities &

weaning off support

slowly – vary positions


fallers

Start with ‘win win’ tasks

(eg – seated ball games)

Ensure appropriate ratio of supervision for each task

Explain benefits

Method of using support

Examples of Exercises

Functional reach while sitting

Toe & heel walking

Tandem walks

calf raises

Flamingo swings

Picking objects off the floor

Backward walking

FALL OVER

Remain still. Avoid panic and wasting energy on ineffective struggling.

Have any serious injury? Any movements limited?

Any pain?Will help arrive soon and this person

will summon help or use a lifting cushion

Plan how to summon help

If you are wearing an alarm button or you can reach one – then do so!

Can you get up without help?

YESYES

YES

YESNO

NO NO

NO

OK

OKOK

Carry out your previously worked out plan to summon help by alternative methods and while waiting for help to arrive carry out your plan to avoid any consequences of being on the floor for a long time.

How To Avoid Spending A Long Time On The Floor After A Fall

PROGRESSION + ADAPTATION

• Seated Adaptations for:– Trunk rotation, calf stretch, upward side stretch– Double side step, wide-based sway, march– Heel raise and toe walk, toe raise and heel walk,

flamingo swing, tandem stand– Backward chaining– Prone back extension, side lying leg raise, prone

hip extension– Working the oar


Exercise Management of Patients with Chronic Illness / Conditions

The Individual Difference Principle

• Liaison with Health Professionals

• Liaison with Patient

• Liaison with Leisure Professionals

STEP 1


Exercise Management of Patients with Chronic Illness / Conditions

• Type of condition• Site of condition• Stage of condition• Functional Limitations• Disease Specific Effects• Disease Specific Effects to the individual• Medication Effects• Exercise performance limitations• Risk stratification• Prognosis• SMART goals – Specific; Measurable; Agreed; Realistic; Timed

N.B. SMART - Not in manual / not assessed but an important tool.

• LEARN YOUR PPTs!

• In the Manual• If its in bold its important

• If its in a box its VERY IMPORTANT

• If its in a box + bold its VERY IMPORTANT


2. PRACTICAL

• On Day 6 or 7 (whichever you signed up for)

• Plan 1 hour week 15-20 PSI Session – bring 2 copies of plan - ie. assessed on planning

Refer to Manual 2 Session Planner;

Use sesson plan proformas provided;

Only teaching points necessary ie. not instructions

• Approx 30 mins teaching to your peers – ie. assessed on teachingEquipment provided = therabands, chairs, mats;

Moved on by assessor – plenty of time / prompts;

Assessment checklist will be used by assessor;

Consider lifting technique e.g. for mats. Chair alternatives but Not Chair focus;

Notes can be used if necessary – or assessor prompt



• No Pass Mark for Practical delivery, only Pass/Refer and action points given

• Receive peer evaluation

• Write up self- evaluation – ie. assessed on evaluation

Practice with people - not just in front room!


2. PRACTICAL cont’d


3. CASE STUDY

Ensure meets Criteria for PSI intervention and is at risk of falls

• Complete all paperwork - (questionnaires + functional

grid) in assessment pack

• Complete 1500 word ‘write up’ – see case study guidelines in

Summative Assessment Pack

• Submit on day 6/7

• Pass mark 70%

All results (case study, practical and theory paper) in post

(8-10 weeks later)
