Feedback control of heart rate during robotics-assisted tilt table exercise in patients after stroke: a clinical feasibility study.

Journal: Journal of neuroengineering and rehabilitation
PMID: 39135048

Abstract

BACKGROUND: Patients with neurological disorders including stroke use rehabilitation to improve cognitive abilities, to regain motor function and to reduce the risk of further complications. Robotics-assisted tilt table technology has been developed to provide early mobilisation and to automate therapy involving the lower limbs. The aim of this study was to evaluate the feasibility of employing a feedback control system for heart rate (HR) during robotics-assisted tilt table exercise in patients after a stroke.
