One increasingly noted symptom is the incidence of hypercoagulability which may lead to ischemic stroke. Physical therapists (PTs) are an integral component of the medical team and contribute to the early identification of stroke-like symptoms in patients with COVID-19. Case Presentation: This case series will describe the rehabilitation process of 3 patients who survived critical illness due to COVID-19 and had secondary complications including right hemiparesis while in critical care. Patients received rehabilitation by PTs and occupational therapists on average 6 times per week with interventions focused on recovery of strength, functionalmobility, neurological re-education, and cognition. Themobility status was assessedwith the Perme Intensive Care Unit Mobility Score. Conclusion: Patients who present with COVID-19 need careful screening for neurological impairment. Conventionalmeans to diagnose stroke, such as radiological imaging, canbe difficult to obtain in these unique circumstances because of infection control measures. Physical therapists can assist in early identification of neurological impairment in the absence of traditional diagnostic methods through identification of deficits in abilities such as mobility and balance.

This study investigated the safety and efficacy of transitioning patients requiring HHFNC to a portable high-flow oxygen (HFO2) device for ambulation. Methods: Twenty-three patients with acute respiratory failure participated in this prospective longitudinal observational study. Three diagnostic groups were formed (cardiac n = 8; pulmonary n = 11; and other n = 4). Initial aerobic tolerance was established through bedside marching on HHFNC, then participants transitioned to HFO2 for ambulation. During each phase, vital signs were monitored. Results: No differences were found among diagnostic groups or sexes during ambulation for blood pressure, heart rate (HR), respiratory rate (RR), oxygen saturation (SpO2), or the Borg dyspnea scale (BDS) (all P > .05). Outcomes during marching and ambulation differed from outcomes at rest and during recovery for HR, RR, SpO2, and BDS (all P < .001). Transitory adverse events during ambulation included anxiety (n = 2), hypotension (n = 1), and arrhythmia (n = 2).

Because of the limited evidence of physiological stress of BWST training, the purpose of this study was to describe the metabolic and cardiovascular response to varying levels of BWST walking in healthy adult subjects. METHODS: A total of 21 subjects (10 females; 34+6.7 yr; 74.6+14.3 kg; 170.8+6.9 cm; 26.1+5.3 kg/m) provided their informed consent to participate in three 5-minute walking trials at a self-selected treadmill speed, with body weight support (BWS) of 0, 15, and 30%. Test order was randomized for each subject. Subjects rested for a minimum of 5 minutes between each trial, and did not begin a subsequent trial until HR was verified to be < 5 bpm of HR rest. Mean HR (12-lead ECG), BP (auscultation), oxygen uptake (continuous indirect calorimetry), and RPE (Borg ratio scale) were determined from the last 3 minutes of each trial. Mean values for all variables were assessed for difference between trials using repeated measures analysis of variance (SPSS ver. 24, New York, NY). RESULTS: At rest, HR was 78.2+11.5 bp and BP was 121.2+7.9 / 76.9+8.0 mmHg. Mean walking speed of subjects was 64.2 m/min. HR and systolic BP significantly (p<0.05) increased from rest to exercise at all BWS levels, with no significant difference in diastolic BP seen from rest to exercise at all BWS levels. There was no statistical difference among levels of BWS for HR, BP, RPE, oxygen uptake, respiratory exchange ratio, respiratory rate, tidal volume, and METs. CONCLUSIONS: Metabolic and cardiovascular responses to treadmill walking at 3 levels of BWS (0, 15, 30%) were similar in apparently healthy adult subjects.","PeriodicalId":72526,"journal":{"name":"Cardiopulmonary physical therapy journal","volume":"31 1","pages":"167-171"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1097/cpt.0000000000000137","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42389861","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Purpose: The Global Physical Activity Questionnaire (GPAQv2) is widely used and one of the only national surveillance measures recommended by the World Health Organization for physical activity (PA) assessment globally. No studies to date have examined the validity of GPAQv2 in older adults with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). This observational study examined its construct validity using population-based data. Methods: Individuals aged 65 years and older with COPD, interviewed in the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) between years 2007 and 2012 were included. GPAQv2-derived PA was compared with constructs of lung function, shortness of breath, and the diagnosis of COPD. Results: The GPAQv2 was not found to be a significant predictor of COPD status (odds ratio 5 1.00, 95% confidence interval: 0.99, 1.00) when controlling for relevant covariates. Age and smoking status emerged as the strongest predictors of COPD. Total PA was neither significantly associated with shortness of breath nor lung function. Conclusions: Older adults with chronic conditions such as COPD represent a unique subset of population discrete from the healthier counterparts. Given the importance of GPAQv2 as the only widely accepted population surveillance tool, future studies exploring its validity in this subset of individuals with COPD using different constructs and objective reference standards are needed.
