Clinical Exercise Prescription Generator
Generate evidence-based exercise prescriptions with safety screening
What You Can Do
This skill creates individualized, evidence-based therapeutic exercise prescriptions tailored to specific patient populations and clinical conditions. You provide patient demographics, medical history, and clinical goals, and receive comprehensive prescriptions that include exercise selection, dosage parameters, safety considerations, and contraindication analysis. Each prescription integrates validated screening protocols to identify risk factors and ensure exercise recommendations align with clinical best practices.
Features
Access curated exercise recommendations grounded in clinical research for specific diagnoses, populations, and functional limitations.
Automatically apply validated pre-exercise screening questionnaires (PAR-Q+, ACSM criteria) to identify absolute and relative contraindications.
Cross-reference patient medical history, medications, and comorbidities against exercise safety databases to flag potential risks.
Generate specific intensity, duration, frequency, and progression protocols based on patient capacity and clinical condition.
Classify patients into risk categories (low, moderate, high) with corresponding supervision and monitoring recommendations.
Produce clear, illustrated exercise instruction sheets with form cues and safety warnings suitable for patient education.
Include pre- and post-intervention assessment protocols with functional capacity tests and outcome metrics aligned to clinical goals.
Example Output
Example 1: Post-MI Cardiac Rehab Prescription
Patient Profile: 62-year-old male, 4 weeks post-anterior MI, LVEF 40%, no angina at rest
Phase 2 Prescription:
- Warm-up: 5 min light walking at 40% HR reserve
- Main: Interval walking (2 min easy, 1 min moderate) x4 cycles, 20 min total
- Cool-down: 5 min easy pace with stretching
- Frequency: 3x per week supervised, 1x per week home-based
- Progression: Increase work intervals by 10% HR reserve per week
- Contraindications flagged: AVOID isometric exercises, Valsalva maneuver, high upper body resistance
- Monitoring: Track rate-pressure product, dyspnea scale (RPE 11-13/20), ensure no ischemic symptoms
Example 2: Fall Risk Reduction (Elderly with Osteoporosis)
Patient Profile: 78-year-old female, T-score -2.8, previous fall, on bisphosphonate therapy
Prescription:
- Balance training: Tandem stance, single-leg work, perturbation training (15 min, 3x/week)
- Resistance: Bodyweight and elastic bands, 2x per week (leg press analog, avoid spinal flexion-rotation)
- Cardiovascular: Brisk walking 30 min, 5x per week
- Flexibility: Daily hip and ankle mobility work
- Contraindications: AVOID plyometrics, combined flexion-rotation movements, high-impact activities
- Assessment: Timed Up and Go test, Berg Balance Scale, reassess quarterly for progression
What's Included
- Pre-exercise screening templates: Ready-to-use questionnaires (PAR-Q+, ACSM risk stratification, condition-specific screening) to document baseline safety assessment.
- Exercise prescription framework: Structured format covering FITT parameters (frequency, intensity, time, type), progression algorithms, and modification strategies.
- Contraindication reference guide: Evidence-based database of absolute and relative contraindications mapped to common clinical conditions and medications.
- Risk stratification protocol: Validated classification system with supervision levels, monitoring parameters, and emergency response guidelines per risk category.
- Patient education materials: Printable handouts with exercise descriptions, safety precautions, symptom monitoring guidance, and progression milestones.
- Outcome assessment tools: Pre- and post-intervention evaluation protocols (6MWT, TUG, SPPB, condition-specific measures) to track clinical efficacy.
