Objectives

Narrative objectives1

The purpose of this study is to clarify the followings in patients with chronic heart failure;
1) Motion assistance of HAL during exercise therapy could lead to effective reduction of cardiopulmonary burden.
2) HAL could lead to early getting out of bed and early discharge from hospital.
3) HAL could lead to reduce the hospitalization by heart failure and cardiovascular death after discharge.

Results

Motion assistance from HAL during the sit-tostand exercise significantly improved muscle strength in heart failure patients. The lumbartype HAL may be an effective tool for frailty, a predictor of poor prognosis in heart failure.

Baseline Characteristics

Mean age was 71.0 years in the HAL group (n =13) and 75.2 years in the control group (n = 11), and gender (male/female) was 7/6 in the HAL group and 6/5 in the control group.

Participant flow

Twenty-four of 28 patients completed all protocol-specified assessments and
interventions (13 in the HAL group and 11 in the control group). Three of the four dropouts were
discontinued by early discharge due to the patient's own circumstances or medical reasons,
and one was discontinued due to death judged to be unrelated to this clinical study.

Adverse events

No adverse events occurred in all cases.

Outcome measures

Heart rate and blood pressure at the final exercise session
The number of days from the start of exercise therapy before the patient could walk
The number of days from the start of exercise therapy to discharge
BNP
The knee extensor muscle strength
The 30-s chair-stand test(CS-30)
6-minute walking distance (6MWD)
Short physical performance battery (SPPB)
