The lower bodyextremity must have the ability to support body weight during the stance phase of the locomotion cycle, rotateand coordinate the joints to achieve forward progression, adjust limb length during the swing phase of gait, andfurther smooth the trajecto...

Subjective Ratings of Perceived Exertion in Cardiac Rehabilitation Programs: wh...

However, it’s based on subjective feeling of exertion and fatigue during exercise, and possible factors that influence perception are highly variable inter and intra-individually. Objective: To evaluate the predictors of a higher RPE at the beginning of a cardiac rehabilitation program (CR...
