Abstract

Purpose of Review

This review elucidates the key considerations applicable to the physical therapist in effectively managing patients with heart failure in the home health setting.

Recent Findings

The paper accentuates various examination strategies that support an appreciation for patient stability prior to exercise. Additionally, organized clinical decision-making and effective treatment techniques including aerobic exercise, strength training, interval training, energy conservation techniques, inspiratory muscle training, and positioning are reviewed in an effort to improve the activity and participation of patients with heart failure. Evidence-based research will be used to support the efficacy of outcome measures and exercise for use in home care.

Summary

The evidence supports the use of specific examination and treatment interventions in maximizing activity, participation, and reducing readmissions in patients with heart failure in home health. The paper enhances the reader’s appreciation for meaningful outcomes and appropriate service delivery techniques for patients with heart failure in the home health setting.
