While recovery progression isn’t always linear, these are some awesome repeat exertion testing before/afters.
Exertion testing is vital for post concussions and dysautonomia recovery for improving exercise tolerance and an objective measure of progress!
These slides show different starting points for each individual and different initial exercise parameters were implemented for each person.
Throughout each test, we see improved response to exertion with increasing heart rate correlated to increased intensity on repeat testing!
Subjective improvements included:
- walking dog without dizziness
- returning to the gym with improved tolerance
- decreased symptoms in school
- returning to practice/play without symptoms
- improved tolerance to daily activities- work, cooking, cleaning, showering etc
