EFX: Reproducible Functional Investigation that is sensitive to change
Functional exploration during exercise on a cyclo-ergometer or treadmill creates a standardised stress situation that enables the dynamics of physiological responses to be observed. (ventilatory, cardio-circulatory, and haematosis) and compare them with the evolution of the symptoms recorded by the Borg scale (dyspnoea and fatigue) at rest and during maximal exercise.
She objectively assesses functional capacity to better understand the complaints reported during physical activities of daily living.
It enables early detection of undetectable deficiencies by resting explorations (functional or morphological) sometimes leading to an unsuspected diagnosis.
Finally, it alone authorisesassert with conviction the absence of pathology in the face of medically unexplained symptoms.
