To conduct a stress test on a wheelchair-bound patient, first ensure the patient is medically cleared for the test. Use a modified approach by employing an arm ergometer or a treadmill with a wheelchair attachment, allowing the patient to perform upper body exercises or simulate walking. Monitor vital signs, perceived exertion, and any symptoms throughout the test. Always ensure safety measures are in place, including emergency protocols and access to assistance if needed.
