Study Notes
- Hand-driven crank used to measure cardiopulmonary conditioning
- Workload of 10-20 watts for 2-3 minutes stage
- Used for patients with vascular, orthopedic, or neurologic conditions
- Arm ergometry stress test can be done sitting or standing
- Test protocol graded with increasing workload every 2 minutes
- Peak O2 consumption on arm ergometer is approximately 65%
- Arm ergometry can be performed with or without O2 measurement
- Arm working capacity correlates more strongly with performance on tasks than peak VO2 from treadmill testing
- Peak VO2 and heart rate measured
- 70% of leg testing.
