Background: Cardiovascular diseases are one of the leading causes of death and disability in Portugal. The development of rehabilitation devices is crucial for the promotion of functional recovery.
Objectives: To describe the two Ablefit prototypes in terms of functionality and learning for postinfarction patients.
Methodology: Qualitative research using focus groups. A convenience was composed of nurse specialists in rehabilitation.
Results: The study included 16 participants. The prototypes are distinct in functionality: the beta allows for greater resistance variation and progressive exercise programs. The biofeedback feature allows adapting the program to the user and facilitates returning home. The cycloergometer for the lower limbs included in the alpha is a significant advantage and should be improved.
Conclusion: The alpha prototype has fewer functional characteristics and lower ease of use than the beta, limiting the variety of exercise resistance and being incapable of monitoring physiological parameters. The biofeedback feature should be explored in future prototypes.
