What Should be Measured?
What is work?Work Capacity
The ability to sustain work for a 40 hour work week
Physical Demands vs Physiological Function
Effort
![Page 5: Functional Capacity Testing - Dr Speedy and ME · PDF fileCardiopulmonary Exercise Testing (CPET) & Evaluating Functional Capacity Staci R. Stevens, MA Executive Director. Pacific](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022030411/5a9def0c7f8b9a29228b51e0/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Medico-legal Assessments/Validity and Reliability Functional Capacity Evaluations (FCE)
Provide little scientific evidence for predicting future work performance.
Problems with extrapolating data from short term testing to an 8 hour work day.
Fails to assess the impact of the test itself, APTA.
Objective physiological measures such as HR and BP and pulmonary analysis are usually not taken.
Does not take diagnosis into account

Medico-legal Assessments/Validity and ReliabilityCardiopulmonary Exercise Testing
Measures aerobic capacity Measures work output Measures ability to sustain work Measures exercise/work limitation and
determines which system limits function Objectively measures impairment/disability

CPET: What is it?
Measuring the cardiovascular, pulmonary and metabolic responses at rest and during exercise.
Key measures: Peak Oxygen Consumption (VO2) Anaerobic Threshold (AT) Heart Rate (HR) Blood Pressure (BP) Ventilation (VE)

ACC/AHA 2002 Guideline Update for Exercise Testing
“Direct measures of VO2 are reliable and reproducible and provide the most accurate assessment of functional capacity.” Page 31.
![Page 11: Functional Capacity Testing - Dr Speedy and ME · PDF fileCardiopulmonary Exercise Testing (CPET) & Evaluating Functional Capacity Staci R. Stevens, MA Executive Director. Pacific](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022030411/5a9def0c7f8b9a29228b51e0/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
“CPET complements other clinical and diagnostic modalities, and by directly quantitating work capacity improves the diagnostic accuracy of impairment/disability evaluation.”
![Page 12: Functional Capacity Testing - Dr Speedy and ME · PDF fileCardiopulmonary Exercise Testing (CPET) & Evaluating Functional Capacity Staci R. Stevens, MA Executive Director. Pacific](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022030411/5a9def0c7f8b9a29228b51e0/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Social Security Administration“When the results of tests with measurement of
oxygen uptake are available, every reasonable effort should be made to obtain them.
“How does an ETT with measurement of maximal or peak oxygen uptake (VO2) differ from other ETTs?
While ETTs without measurement of VO2 provide only an estimate of aerobic capacity, measured maximal or peak oxygen uptake provides an accurate measurement of aerobic capacity, which is often expressed in METs (metabolic equivalents).”

Test, Retest: “Stevens’ Protocol”
New way to look at fatigue through the prism of post exertional maliase.
It is the best technique to capture the delayed effects of physical stress.
“One test is not enough”. Severe impairment is the exception

Justification
Single test describes physical function in a rested state and creates the stressor necessary to induce PEM.
The second test measures the patient in the PEM state.
Allows for the determination of metabolic dysfunction.

The Florence Nightingale Effect
Florence’s behavior in those years of illness prejudiced severely her reputation and achievements
Influenced by the failure to diagnose an organic illness, biographers suggest that she lied about her health for her own ends
It is a sad irony that the founder of modern nursing should be remembered as history’s most famous invalid and possibly its most successful malingerer

Conclusions CPET is the Gold Standard for measuring
functional capacity.
A single test is often inadequate to describe fluctuations in function due to fatigue or pain.
Test-retest reductions provide objective evidence of metabolic dysfunction.
CPET objectively documents the fluctuations experienced by patients.
