Question

1. True or false: Electrode placement is slightly different for women than for men.

1. True
2. False

2. While reviewing the patient's medical history forms prior to her evaluation, you learn that she is 73 years old, and is fairly active. Specifically, she still walks her grandchildren to school each morning, and tends her own garden. What type of protocol would be most appropriate for this patient?

1. A treadmill protocol that is meant for healthy active individuals in which they jog at 5 mph (8 kmph), with increasing grade.
2. A treadmill RAMP protocol in which the subject is moving at a brisk walking speed and the grade is steadily increasing each minute.
3. A cycle ergometer protocol that can alleviate knee pain from running/walking.
4. A slow walking protocol meant for elderly patients with limited walking patients.

Answer 1

Answer:

TRUE: Need to change the electrode placement only for women with larger breast.For those women, it should placed at the crest underneath the breast because there is too much tissue to get a clear reading.

A treadmill RAMP protocol would provide at a brisk walking speed and the grade can be increaesd steadly. Elder would be ore comfortable to this method.

Elder people may not be able to jog like a healthy active individual. here the patient being sufferd with knee or joint pain, so cycle ergometry can be excluded.Patient doesnt have any limitation in walking, so slow walikng protocol is not meant for her.
