With this new control strategy, HR and dBP could be successfully controlled within medically tolerable ranges and the control of sBP was less accurate; the results suggest that simultaneous control of multiple input stimuli rather than only adaptive automatic change of the tilt table angle might improve the controllability.

Modeling the effect of tilting, passive leg exercise, and functional electrical stimulation on the human cardiovascular system

A subject-specific multi-input multi-output (MIMO) black-box model describing the relationship between the inputs and outputs is investigated, showing that only the HR transfer functions to inclination input can explain the variance in the data to a reasonable extent.

Distinctive Steady-State Heart Rate and Blood Pressure Responses to Passive Robotic Leg Exercise during Head-Up Tilt: A Pilot Study in Neurological Patients

Evidence is provided that PE can increase steady-state values of sBP and dBP in neurological patients during head-up tilt and it is found that changing the PE speed does not influence the steady- state cardiovascular response.

Robust Control Design of a Human Heart Rate System for Cardiac Rehabilitation Exercise

Integral sliding mode control (ISMC) was designed and implemented to overcome difficulties of the signal compression method and showed that the desired heart rate tracking of ISMC is better than that of SMC.

Distinctive Steady-State Heart Rate and Blood Pressure Responses to Passive Robotic Leg Exercise and Functional Electrical Stimulation during Head-Up Tilt

It is concluded that orthostatic hypotension cannot be prevented by PE alone, but that the preventive effect depends on the verticalization angle of the robot-assisted tilt table, where FES is not an important contributing factor.

Cardiovascular control and stabilization via inclination and mobilization during bed rest

The long-term goal is an automation of the control of physiological signals and the mobilization of bed rest patients in an early phase of the rehabilitation process, which could help to strengthen the cardiovascular system and prevent secondary health problems arising from long- term bed rest.
