  • Kinesitherapy apparatus and anaerobic threshold identifying method
    Patent number: 11324404
    Abstract: A kinesitherapy apparatus includes a measuring instrument, a pedaled rotational mechanism, a rotating electrical machine configured to apply an assist load, which is a regenerative load or a power running load, to the pedaled rotational mechanism, and a motion control device. The motion control device performs power running operation of the rotating electrical machine so that a minus assist load is generated in a warm-up period. In a ramp loading period following the warm-up period, the motion control device raises the assist load from the minus assist load, and calculates an anaerobic threshold based on time-series data of oxygen uptake and carbon dioxide emission that are obtained via the measuring instrument.
