  16. Part 1: Point 2 Characteristics of exercise interventions in persons with disabilities

  17. No. of Studies by Exercise Type Rimmer et al. (2010). Am J Phy Med & Rehab 89: 249-63

  18. Exercise Regimen • Type • Aerobic exercise: walking on ground, treadmill, using cycle ergometer, stepping ergometer, rowing, arm ergometer (SCI), and wheelchair ergometer (SCI) • Strengthening: progressive resistance mode with weight machines, free weights and elastic bands. • Aquatic exercise: (stroke, MS, traumatic brain injury, Polio) • Alternative: Yoga (MS), Tai-Chi (MS, Parkinson’s), Qigong (Muscular Dystrophy)

  19. Exercise Regimen-cont’d • Intensity • Moderate or higher (50% HRmax or VO2peak) • Frequency • 3-5 times/week • Duration • 30-60 minutes per session • Length • 12-20 weeks

  20. Summary • Level of evidence • Relatively strong evidence for musculoskeletal health, functional health and mentalhealth. • More studies needed on metabolic health, healthy weight and decreasing secondary conditions. • Strong need for more RCTs. • Safety • Exercise can be implemented safely without inducing significant adverse events.

  21. Part 2: Point 1 Identifying the Problem from a Public Health Perspective Problem: Low Physical Activity Levels in People with Disabilities Create Enormous Health Problems Conceptual model of deconditioning in people with disabilities

  29. Case Study 1 • A 30-yr old man with a upper level SCI visits his doctor for a Stage II pressure ulcer. He’s gained 30 lbs since his injury and had a 30 percent reduction in lean body mass. He’s lost a significant amount of strength 10 years post-injury and is no longer able to perform independent transfers or pressure relief. He sits in his wheelchair most of the day with little movement or activity. His personal assistance services are increased to assist with transfers and ADLs.

  30. Case Study 3 • A 35-year old woman with multiple sclerosis has high levels of fatigue and is taking a corticosteroid that has caused her to gain 25 lbs. She now feels more fatigued and is concerned that exercise will make her more tired, so she stops going to her local health club. The increased weight gain and reduced muscle strength impair her balance resulting in a serious fall. She decides to purchase a scooter to prevent further falls.

  36. How to Make It Happen • Fitness professionals must strengthen their skills in health promotion and disability. • Rehabilitation professionals must embrace the concept of extending its services into community-based fitness centers. • The third party must be willing to pay for the membership and the consultative services.

  39. Key Abilities of a CIFT • demonstrates and leads safe, effective and adapted methods of exercise • writes adapted exercise recommendations • understands precautions and contraindications to exercise for people with disabilities • is aware of current ADA policy specific to recreation facilities (U.S. Access Board Guidelines) and standards for accessible facility design • can utilize motivational techniques and provide appropriate instruction to individuals with disabilities to enable them begin and continue healthy lifestyles
