Interventions

DEVICEsmart exercise system

The smart exercise system contains an upper extremity ergometer (UEE) and a lower extremity ergometer (LEE). The revolutions per minute (RPM) of the ergometer are instructed to maintain in 55-65. The resistance of UEE is set from level 1 at the first session, and adjusted by rating of perceived exertion (RPE) of each user after each end of the session. The resistance of LEE is set from level 2 at the first session, and adjusted by rating of perceived exertion (RPE) of each user after each end of the session.
