Selection matrix for optimal training of stroke patients, depending on the patient's cognitive and physical impairments. Mildly affected patients can exercise in all three modes: HR control via treadmill speed and visual instructions and WIT [20] control via visual instructions. Patients with strong cognitive deficits might only be able to exercise in HR control mode via treadmill speed. Patients that are capable of understanding a virtual task but are physically limited in their capabilities of controlling the WIT to a desired value can still exercise in HR control mode via visual instructions.
