Write your best HIT ideas here on this thread! In order to qualify as a HIT intervention you must have measured the heart rate and experienced it being elevated to 75-85% of the individual's heart rate max. Here is an awesome example of one: "home care client that I was covering another therapist for with a physio partner very resistant to HIT but also hesitant to try or push her clients. 48 year old recent cva (very minor compared to her médical history) - mild left sided weakness, some proprioception difficulties in her left foot. She struggles with stance control a lot which is further compromised by recent abdominal surgeries including a gastric tube. Propulsion, and lateral stability are great either. She is also fearful of pain in her abdominal wall. Before I had gone in Monday and then again today, she hadn’t done any stairs and this is her main goal - get up the stairs to shower. Day one I got her up 3 stairs which doesn’t seem like a lot but for her it was huge. Also got her to walk without her walker with light counter support. This fired up the physio who then started to push her more. I also think by showing her what she can do (thanks Phil for our discussion) was the right approach to help empower her. Today she was game for anything. She climbed 5 stairs four times with just close visual supervision compared to her moderate assistance Monday. We also did more counter walking with variable stepping and only one hand support and carrying. Then she walked with her IV adapted backpack on, which weighs just under ten pounds, throughout her house. It was so great to be apart of her seeing that her objectives can be achieved !! I won’t keep seeing her but the OT I was replacing and I had a great discussion and she said well yeah I can do stairs too - so awesome!! Hoping that helps the OTs confidence too!!" Let's see some of your thoughts!
