The Social Security Administration (SSA) oversees the disability determination
process and the payment of disability benefits to Americans. According to recent
SSA data, approximately 900 000 persons are receiving cardiovascular disability
payments and about 145 000 adult claims for cardiovascular disability are
processed by the SSA annually. An objective and comprehensive examination of
functional capacity is an important part of the disability assessment process.
This statement reviews various protocols for disability assessment of aerobic
capacity, muscle function, and the physical requirements of job tasks. Cardiac
rehabilitation programs are ideal settings for conducting comprehensive
disability assessments of functional capacity in persons with cardiovascular
disease. In addition, exercise training provided by cardiac rehabilitation
programs can increase functional capacity in most patients.
