Exercise Assessment

bull VO2 max ndash Decreased (less than 80 predicted)

bull Anaerobic threshold (AT) ndash Less than predicted

bull Low O2 pulse (rate of VO2 to heart rate = mimic stroke volume) bull Low VO2-work bull No mechanical ventilation impairments

Reasons bull Anemia

ndash Low peak VO2 low AT low O2 pulse elevated heart rate for level of work increased respiratory equivalent of CO2

bull Pulmonary vascular disease ndash Gas exchange abnormalities

bull Peripheral vascular disease andor myopathy ndash High heart rate reserve

Connes et al 2011

Exercise - Testing

bull 6 minute walk test

ndash Pulmonary hypertension

ndash Pulmonary or peripheral vascular disease (severe SCA)

bull Symptom-limited cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET)

ndash Pulmonary or peripheral vascular disease bull severe SCA- less than AT

ndash Pulmonary hypertension

ndash Heart disease (with EKG)

ndash Bronchial hyper-reactivity (with spirometry)

Connes et al 2011

Exercise Prescription

bull Moderate exercise (50 of maximal aerobic power) of 20 minutes did not cause marked hematological alterations (Balayssac-Syransy et al 2011)

bull Exercise therapy may contribute to a reduction in the length of hospitalization in sickle cell anemia children with painful VOC

(Alcorn et al 1984) ndash Moderate strength and endurance exercise 10-30 minutes duration and included recreational

gymnastics stationary bike riding and games

bull Decreased pain increased respiratory muscles strength improved quality of life (Tinti et al 2010)

ndash Kinesiology and aquatic rehabilitation 2xweek for 5 weeks (warm water exercise stretching aerobic exercise and relaxation)

bull Regular exercise at moderate intensity could decrease the risk of inflammatory reaction related to exercise and could increased exercise intensity (Barbeau et al 2001)

ndash Used 60-75 of predicted maximum bull AT of SCA ranges between 35-60 VO2max (10 24 exercise)

Exercise Prescription

bull Start exercise gradually

bull Avoid intense exercise

bull Stop exercising at first sign of fatigue

bull Should not practice during illness

bull Avoid prolonged exercise for more than 20 minutes without rest

bull Drink water during and after exercise

bull Outdoors prevent cold and heat stress

bull Intensity of exercise should be at or below anaerobic threshold (AT)

Connes et al 2011

Central Nervous System

bull Stroke

bull Transient ischemic attack (TIA)

bull ldquoSilentrdquo cerebral infarct

bull Exercise therapy may contribute to a reduction in the length of hospitalization in sickle cell anemia children with painful VOC

(Alcorn et al 1984) ndash Moderate strength and endurance exercise 10-30 minutes duration and included recreational

gymnastics stationary bike riding and games

bull Decreased pain increased respiratory muscles strength improved quality of life (Tinti et al 2010)

ndash Kinesiology and aquatic rehabilitation 2xweek for 5 weeks (warm water exercise stretching aerobic exercise and relaxation)

bull Regular exercise at moderate intensity could decrease the risk of inflammatory reaction related to exercise and could increased exercise intensity (Barbeau et al 2001)

ndash Used 60-75 of predicted maximum bull AT of SCA ranges between 35-60 VO2max (10 24 exercise)

Exercise Prescription

bull Start exercise gradually

bull Avoid intense exercise

bull Stop exercising at first sign of fatigue

bull Should not practice during illness

bull Avoid prolonged exercise for more than 20 minutes without rest

bull Drink water during and after exercise

bull Outdoors prevent cold and heat stress

bull Exercise therapy may contribute to a reduction in the length of hospitalization in sickle cell anemia children with painful VOC

(Alcorn et al 1984) ndash Moderate strength and endurance exercise 10-30 minutes duration and included recreational

gymnastics stationary bike riding and games

bull Decreased pain increased respiratory muscles strength improved quality of life (Tinti et al 2010)

ndash Kinesiology and aquatic rehabilitation 2xweek for 5 weeks (warm water exercise stretching aerobic exercise and relaxation)

bull Regular exercise at moderate intensity could decrease the risk of inflammatory reaction related to exercise and could increased exercise intensity (Barbeau et al 2001)

ndash Used 60-75 of predicted maximum bull AT of SCA ranges between 35-60 VO2max (10 24 exercise)

Exercise Prescription

bull Start exercise gradually

bull Avoid intense exercise

bull Stop exercising at first sign of fatigue

bull Should not practice during illness

bull Avoid prolonged exercise for more than 20 minutes without rest

bull Drink water during and after exercise

bull Outdoors prevent cold and heat stress

bull Exercise therapy may contribute to a reduction in the length of hospitalization in sickle cell anemia children with painful VOC

(Alcorn et al 1984) ndash Moderate strength and endurance exercise 10-30 minutes duration and included recreational

gymnastics stationary bike riding and games

bull Decreased pain increased respiratory muscles strength improved quality of life (Tinti et al 2010)

ndash Kinesiology and aquatic rehabilitation 2xweek for 5 weeks (warm water exercise stretching aerobic exercise and relaxation)

bull Regular exercise at moderate intensity could decrease the risk of inflammatory reaction related to exercise and could increased exercise intensity (Barbeau et al 2001)

ndash Used 60-75 of predicted maximum bull AT of SCA ranges between 35-60 VO2max (10 24 exercise)

Exercise Prescription

bull Start exercise gradually

bull Avoid intense exercise

bull Stop exercising at first sign of fatigue

bull Should not practice during illness

bull Exercise therapy may contribute to a reduction in the length of hospitalization in sickle cell anemia children with painful VOC

(Alcorn et al 1984) ndash Moderate strength and endurance exercise 10-30 minutes duration and included recreational

gymnastics stationary bike riding and games

bull Decreased pain increased respiratory muscles strength improved quality of life (Tinti et al 2010)

ndash Kinesiology and aquatic rehabilitation 2xweek for 5 weeks (warm water exercise stretching aerobic exercise and relaxation)

bull Regular exercise at moderate intensity could decrease the risk of inflammatory reaction related to exercise and could increased exercise intensity (Barbeau et al 2001)

ndash Used 60-75 of predicted maximum bull AT of SCA ranges between 35-60 VO2max (10 24 exercise)

Exercise Prescription

bull Start exercise gradually

bull Avoid intense exercise

bull Stop exercising at first sign of fatigue

bull Should not practice during illness

bull Avoid prolonged exercise for more than 20 minutes without rest

bull Drink water during and after exercise

bull Outdoors prevent cold and heat stress

bull Exercise therapy may contribute to a reduction in the length of hospitalization in sickle cell anemia children with painful VOC

(Alcorn et al 1984) ndash Moderate strength and endurance exercise 10-30 minutes duration and included recreational

gymnastics stationary bike riding and games

bull Decreased pain increased respiratory muscles strength improved quality of life (Tinti et al 2010)

ndash Kinesiology and aquatic rehabilitation 2xweek for 5 weeks (warm water exercise stretching aerobic exercise and relaxation)

bull Regular exercise at moderate intensity could decrease the risk of inflammatory reaction related to exercise and could increased exercise intensity (Barbeau et al 2001)

ndash Used 60-75 of predicted maximum bull AT of SCA ranges between 35-60 VO2max (10 24 exercise)

Exercise Prescription

bull Start exercise gradually

bull Avoid intense exercise

bull Stop exercising at first sign of fatigue

bull Should not practice during illness

bull Avoid prolonged exercise for more than 20 minutes without rest

bull Drink water during and after exercise

(Alcorn et al 1984) ndash Moderate strength and endurance exercise 10-30 minutes duration and included recreational

gymnastics stationary bike riding and games

bull Decreased pain increased respiratory muscles strength improved quality of life (Tinti et al 2010)

ndash Kinesiology and aquatic rehabilitation 2xweek for 5 weeks (warm water exercise stretching aerobic exercise and relaxation)

bull Regular exercise at moderate intensity could decrease the risk of inflammatory reaction related to exercise and could increased exercise intensity (Barbeau et al 2001)

ndash Used 60-75 of predicted maximum bull AT of SCA ranges between 35-60 VO2max (10 24 exercise)

Exercise Prescription

bull Start exercise gradually

bull Exercise therapy may contribute to a reduction in the length of hospitalization in sickle cell anemia children with painful VOC

(Alcorn et al 1984) ndash Moderate strength and endurance exercise 10-30 minutes duration and included recreational

gymnastics stationary bike riding and games

bull Decreased pain increased respiratory muscles strength improved quality of life (Tinti et al 2010)

ndash Kinesiology and aquatic rehabilitation 2xweek for 5 weeks (warm water exercise stretching aerobic exercise and relaxation)

bull Regular exercise at moderate intensity could decrease the risk of inflammatory reaction related to exercise and could increased exercise intensity (Barbeau et al 2001)

ndash Used 60-75 of predicted maximum bull AT of SCA ranges between 35-60 VO2max (10 24 exercise)

Exercise Prescription

bull Start exercise gradually

bull Avoid intense exercise

bull Stop exercising at first sign of fatigue

bull Should not practice during illness

bull Exercise therapy may contribute to a reduction in the length of hospitalization in sickle cell anemia children with painful VOC

(Alcorn et al 1984) ndash Moderate strength and endurance exercise 10-30 minutes duration and included recreational

gymnastics stationary bike riding and games

bull Decreased pain increased respiratory muscles strength improved quality of life (Tinti et al 2010)

ndash Kinesiology and aquatic rehabilitation 2xweek for 5 weeks (warm water exercise stretching aerobic exercise and relaxation)

bull Regular exercise at moderate intensity could decrease the risk of inflammatory reaction related to exercise and could increased exercise intensity (Barbeau et al 2001)

ndash Used 60-75 of predicted maximum bull AT of SCA ranges between 35-60 VO2max (10 24 exercise)

Exercise Prescription

bull Start exercise gradually

bull Avoid intense exercise

bull Stop exercising at first sign of fatigue

bull Should not practice during illness

bull Decreased pain increased respiratory muscles strength improved quality of life (Tinti et al 2010)

ndash Kinesiology and aquatic rehabilitation 2xweek for 5 weeks (warm water exercise stretching aerobic exercise and relaxation)

bull Regular exercise at moderate intensity could decrease the risk of inflammatory reaction related to exercise and could increased exercise intensity (Barbeau et al 2001)

ndash Used 60-75 of predicted maximum bull AT of SCA ranges between 35-60 VO2max (10 24 exercise)

Exercise Prescription

bull Start exercise gradually

bull Avoid intense exercise

bull Stop exercising at first sign of fatigue

bull Should not practice during illness

bull Avoid prolonged exercise for more than 20 minutes without rest

bull Drink water during and after exercise

bull Outdoors prevent cold and heat stress

bull Exercise therapy may contribute to a reduction in the length of hospitalization in sickle cell anemia children with painful VOC

(Alcorn et al 1984) ndash Moderate strength and endurance exercise 10-30 minutes duration and included recreational

gymnastics stationary bike riding and games

bull Decreased pain increased respiratory muscles strength improved quality of life (Tinti et al 2010)

ndash Kinesiology and aquatic rehabilitation 2xweek for 5 weeks (warm water exercise stretching aerobic exercise and relaxation)

bull Regular exercise at moderate intensity could decrease the risk of inflammatory reaction related to exercise and could increased exercise intensity (Barbeau et al 2001)

ndash Used 60-75 of predicted maximum bull AT of SCA ranges between 35-60 VO2max (10 24 exercise)

Exercise Prescription

bull Start exercise gradually

bull Avoid intense exercise

bull Stop exercising at first sign of fatigue

bull Should not practice during illness

bull Avoid prolonged exercise for more than 20 minutes without rest

bull Drink water during and after exercise

bull Outdoors prevent cold and heat stress

bull Exercise therapy may contribute to a reduction in the length of hospitalization in sickle cell anemia children with painful VOC

(Alcorn et al 1984) ndash Moderate strength and endurance exercise 10-30 minutes duration and included recreational

gymnastics stationary bike riding and games

bull Decreased pain increased respiratory muscles strength improved quality of life (Tinti et al 2010)

ndash Kinesiology and aquatic rehabilitation 2xweek for 5 weeks (warm water exercise stretching aerobic exercise and relaxation)

bull Regular exercise at moderate intensity could decrease the risk of inflammatory reaction related to exercise and could increased exercise intensity (Barbeau et al 2001)

ndash Used 60-75 of predicted maximum bull AT of SCA ranges between 35-60 VO2max (10 24 exercise)

Exercise Prescription

bull Start exercise gradually

bull Avoid intense exercise

bull Stop exercising at first sign of fatigue

bull Should not practice during illness

bull Avoid prolonged exercise for more than 20 minutes without rest

bull Drink water during and after exercise

bull Outdoors prevent cold and heat stress

bull During transplant patients have a decline in physical functioning which results in muscle atrophy and a loss of strength (Wolin et al 2010)

bull Mobilization bull Prolonged isolation reinforces immobility (Baumann et al 2009)

bull Endurance bull Quality of Life (QoL)

Strenk et al

Pediatric Program Considerations

bull Supervised interventions versus home based program (limited research)

bull More intense contact on a regular basis in order to achieve benefit

bull If possible perform in treating hospital bull Alleviate parent concerns

PT Interventions During HSCT

bull Begin during conditioning and continue through discharge bull Supervised low to moderate intensity exercise addressing

bull Aerobic endurance training bull Strength bull Balance bull Coordination bull Flexibility

bull Focus on positively affecting QoL bull Functional mobility transfers walking and stair climbing bull Higher frequency 5x per week is beneficial to maintain physical

performance Strenk et al

2014

Low to Moderate Intensity Exercise Program

bull 30-60 minutes with rest breaks as needed bull Aerobic exercise at 50 to 75 of max heart rate with rate of

perceived exertion (RPE) at 10 to 13 bull Strengtheningstretching ndash RPE of 10 to 13 bull Progressive relaxation exercises at RPE 6 to 9

Strenk et al

2014

Discharge from Hospital Recommendations

bull Supervised scheduled moderate intensity exercise program bull Goal of returning to prior level of function bull Designed to address

bull Fatigue bull Physical function bull QoL

bull Minimum frequency of 2x per week for 6 to 12 weeks bull Moderate intensity defined as

bull Aerobic exercise starting at 50 to 60 and progressing up to 70 or 80 max HR with RPE up to 15 bull Strengtheningstretching at RPE of 10 to 13
