serve as an important screening tool for physical therapists and should be formally measured for all examinations and then periodically thereafter based on the particular medical diagnosis and specific physical therapy interventions
(a)
_____________ pressure
measures the force exerted against the arteriers during the ejection cycle, while ___________ pressure measures the force exerted against the arteries during rest.
(a)
is directly related to cardiac output and peripheral vascular resistance and therefore is an effective non-invasive performance measure of the pumping mechanism of the heart.
(a)
this pressure increases with exertion in a linear progression often at a rate of 8-12 mm Hg per metabolic equivalent, however, with sustained activity, no further increase typically occur. If this pressure does not rise with increasing workload, it may indicate that the functional reserve capacity of the heart has been exceeded.
(a)
(a) may increase or decrease a maximun of 10mm Hg due to adaptive dilation of peripheral vasculature. In a typical clinical setting, the exercise session should be terminated if the systolic pressure exceeds 210 mm Hg or if the diastolic pressure exceeds 110mm Hg.
is the difference between sustolic and diastolic pressure, generally increases in direct proportion to the intensity of exercise since systolic pressure increases with exercise and diastolic pressure tends to stay the same.
Diastolic pressure
Blood pressure
Systolic pressure
Pulse pressure
The following are ture statements:
Normally, systolic blood pressure in the legs is 10-20% higher than the pressure in the arms.(brachial artery)
In some cases an ankle-brachial index value of greater than 1.0 is still considered to be normal.
Blood pressure readings that are lower in the legs as compared to the arms are abnormal and may be indicative of peripheral vascular disease.
Blood pressure response is higher during weigh training that incorporates a concentric and eccentric phase compared to isokinetic exercise.
During exercise testing, a systolic blood pressure that fails to increase or decrease with increasing workloads ma signal a platearu or decrease in cardiac output.
True
False
Normally decreases promptly with the cessation of exercise. a a general guideline, the three-minute post exercise systolic blood pressure should be less than 90% of the systolic blood pressure at peak exercise
True
False
