In the researchers' words
The aim of this study will be to investigate the energy consumption, cardiorespiratory load and perceived exertion in non-ambulatory subacute stroke patients during a robot-assisted gait training (RAGT) session and to compare the exercise intensity with aerobic training recommendations. The second aim is to investigate the effect of different levels of guidance force on the energy consumption, cardiorespiratory load and perceived exertion.
