Overview

There is always a need to assess and treat endurance in patients attending physiotherapy. This can be in almost all PT settings. The PT’s ability to quantify the patient’s endurance level and their improvement are integral parts of the overall plan of care. This session will help the clinician to choose the appropriate endurance measure, integrate endurance interventions into full PT plan of care, and re-assess outcomes related to endurance improvements.

It is important to assess a patient’s endurance and then provide interventions to improve it. It is not enough to just say someone has decreased endurance.  We need to quantify it and progress it. There are some physical barriers to performing some standardized tests, as well as some patient functional barriers. It is important to choose the appropriate endurance test. Follow up with progress and outcome measurement are equally as important and help to justify our plan of care and document patient progression. This session will also discuss how to incorporate endurance activities into daily physiotherapy sessions.

Canadian Physiotherapy Association

As the vital partner for the profession, the Canadian Physiotherapy Association (CPA) leads, advocates, and inspires excellence and innovation to promote health. CPA’s goal is to provide exceptional service, valuable information and connections to the profession of physiotherapy, across Canada and around the world.

Cardiorespiratory Division

The Cardiorespiratory Division (CRD) unites physiotherapists with a special interest in cardiorespiratory physiotherapy. We provide a valuable forum for our members to share information relevant to working with clients across the lifespan and in all areas of cardiorespiratory.

To facilitate knowledge sharing and encourage networking, we produce our newsletter, the Gas Exchange, three times per year and relay information on job opportunities, online resources, courses and other educational events.
