Lefeber N, De Keersmaecker E, Henderix S, Michielsen M, Kerckhofs E, Swinnen E. (2018). Physiological responses and perceived exertion during robot-assisted and body weight-supported gait after stroke. Neurorehabil Neural Repair 32(12):1043-54. 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. METHODS: A total of 14 ambulatory stroke survivors (age: 61 ± 9 years; time after stroke: 2.8 ± 2.8 months) participated in 3 separate randomized walking trials. Patients walked overground, on a treadmill, and in the Lokomat (60% robotic guidance) for 30 minutes at matched speeds (2.0 ± 0.5 km/h) and matched levels of body weight support (BWS; 41% ± 16%). Breath-by-breath gas analysis, heart rate, and perceived exertion were assessed continuously.
