Exercise Prescription in Inpatient Pediatric Eating Disorder Treatment
Session Description/Research Abstract
The Department of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry at University of Iowa Hospitals and Clinics (UIHC) provides comprehensive inpatient eating disorder treatment for pediatric patients. Excessive exercise is a common feature of eating disorder pathology, and patients often require extensive therapy to unlearn old exercise habits, reintroduce exercise safely, and learn new, health-promoting exercise habits. As integral members of the treatment team, recreational therapists at UIHC are responsible for exercise prescription, exercise education, and facilitation of therapeutic exercise activity, including yoga and aquatic therapy. This session will review the current literature on exercise prescription for eating disorder treatment, describe the evidence-based programming provided at UIHC in detail (including photos and a video tour), review and demonstrate facilitation techniques, discuss embodied cueing, and provide techniques for writing embodied progress notes.
Learning Outcomes
(1) Identify the 11 guidelines for using exercise therapeutically in EDO treatment.
(2) Identify at least three safety considerations for the application of therapeutic exercise with EDO patients.
(3) Identify at least three ways to write embodied progress notes for maximum impact.
