Physiological Responses and Perceived Exertion During Robot-Assisted and Body Weight-Supported Gait After Stroke.

Journal: Neurorehabilitation and neural repair
PMID: 30417724

Abstract

INTRODUCTION: Physiological responses are rarely considered during walking after stroke and if considered, only during a short period (3-6 minutes). The aims of this study were to examine physiological responses during 30-minute robot-assisted and body weight-supported treadmill and overground walking and compare intensities with exercise guidelines.
