Nine hard cases. A licensed PT on each.

Post-MI, week 6. Intervals held to 95–115 bpm, sternal precautions on, effort set by RPE.

During and after treatment, effort paced to your fatigue, working around what therapy affected.

High-repetition, task-specific practice to rebuild gait, balance, and control on the affected side.

Zone-2 and steady strength to build insulin sensitivity, with foot and neuropathy checks built in.

Through pregnancy and the fourth trimester, protecting the deep core and pelvic floor, then rebuilding load in order.

Big-amplitude movement and rhythmic gait cueing to fight bradykinesia and freezing.

Dual-task gait and routine-anchored, familiar movement to build strength while lowering fall risk.

Energy conservation first, preserve range and function, never train a muscle to fatigue.

Graded exposure back to the movements you avoid, and stage-aware rebuilds after surgery.
