Bioengineering System for Cardiorespiratory Biofeedback Control of Oscillatory Postural Load

This study describes bioengineering system that implements biocontrol of heart rate through respiration, i.e. cardiotraining. Respiratory rhythm is determined by tilting table oscillations, which depend on heart rate variability. For maintaining controlled oscillatory mode of the table, hardware component of the system has been developed. Software component is an addition to previously invented adaptive control program for cardiotraining procedure. Examples of bioengineering system being applied on real human subjects are also given.
