FC-RATE
Feedback-controlled robotics-assisted treadmill exercise
Feedback-controlled robotics-assisted treadmill exercise
Progressive cardiovascular exercise using feedback-controlled robotics-assisted treadmill exercise. The first training session is defined to start at 40% of peak work rate (determined from a previous exercise test) to approach 40% of heart rate reserve (Borg scale approximately 11-14). The intensity will then be adjusted on the basis of continuous heart rate data and rating of perceived exertion indications by modulating the target work rate in 5% increments for every subsequent session to reach the target intensity. The target heart rate is set at 40% to 70% of heart rate reserve.
RATE
Robotics-assisted treadmill exercise
Robotics-assisted treadmill exercise
Conventional robotics-assisted treadmill exercise, where therapists focus on gait quality only.
