Intelligent Cardiopulmonary Rehabilitation System for Patients With Chronic Stroke
Stroke
About this trial
This is an interventional treatment trial for Stroke focused on measuring cardiopulmonary exercise, cardiorespiratory fitness, aerobic training
Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria:
- Aged 20-75 y/o
- Healthy people
- Chronic stroke > 6 months
- Able to walk independently > 6 minutes with or without orthosis
- Able to use stationary bike
- MRS(Modified Rankin Scale) ranged 1 to 3
Exclusion Criteria:
- Patients whose heart rate can not be used as the indicator of training intensity (eg, ar-rhythmia, atrial fibrillation, beta-blockers users)
- With any reason that the patient is not suitable to undergo aerobic training
- Patients who are unable to do cycling due to musculoskeletal problems
- Patients who can not follow the instruction of trainers due to cognitive or emotional-problems.
- Patients whose medical condition is not unstable.

Active Comparator
Intelligent cardiopulmonary rehabilitation system (ICRS)
Traditional aerobic exercise training (TAET)
The ICRS is very likely to the conventional stationary biking, but with an algorithm that automatically controls the resistance of pedalling, considering the instant heart rate and cadence, to keep the heart rate within the targeted heart rate zone.
The TAET is performed with stationary biking, with intensity being set as subjective rating of perceived exertion at a "somewhat hard" to "hard" level. The resistance of pedaling is ad-justed by the user or physical therapist.
