Abstract:
1. A transportable apparatus for performing cardiovascular training for stroke survivors, comprising: an exercise device that is adapted to enable a user to perform a specific motion pattern based on motor deficiencies of the user, by adjusting the device to allow performance of the specific motion pattern; wherein the device adjustments enable the device to perform reciprocal motion by moving a damaged limb responsive to motion of a healthy limb; wherein said exercise device is transportable by a single person so that it may be transported and used at the user's home; an ergometer that provides an indication of the amount of effort exerted by the user of the exercise device; an alarm system that provides an indication to the user responsive to the readings of the ergometer; wherein said exercise device is configurable to function in a test mode and in an exercise mode; Wherein in the test mode the user performs a cardiorespiratory exercise test with said exercise device after being configured to perform the specific motion pattern, and the readings of the ergometer are recorded; and wherein the recorded readings of the ergometer are used to preprogram said alarm system to provide indications responsive to one or more readings of the ergometer for the specific user when using the device in the exercise mode to perform the specific motion pattern.
