Optimal Dosing of High-Intensity Locomotor Training for Step Attainment and Locomotor Outcomes in Stroke Patients Undergoing Acute Inpatient Rehabilitation

The moderate-intensity program prescribes participants to exert 50-59% of their heart rate (HR) reserve, or a score of 13-15 on Borg's rating of perceived exertion (RPE) scale.

The high-intensity program prescribes participants to exert at least 60% of their heart rate (HR) reserve, or a score of 16-18 on the RPE scale.

The high step count program prescribes at least 600 steps per session, at less than 50% or HR reserve, or less than 13 RPE.
