Does a Cardiac Rehabilitation Program Based on the Borg RPE Scale improve functional capacity in patients with cardiovascular disease?
Insufficient evidence from truncated report; leaves open whether Borg RPE-based rehabilitation improves functional capacity.
The ability of cardiac rehabilitation to reduce mortality in those with cardiovascular disease is well established. Despite its widespread use in the clinical setting, the Borg Rating of Perceived Exertion (RPE) scale is yet to be validated for its ability to lead to improvements in functional capacity. Study Design: A closed cohort pilot study. Place and Duration of Study: Department of Physiotherapy, Albury Base Hospital and School of Community Health, between
