de Souza MA, Ferreira ME, Rogean de Jesus Alves de Baptista C, Mattiello Sverzut AC.
Fisioter Pesq. 2014. 21(2):193-198.
Energy expenditure of 3 children (6, 7 and 8 years old) with MFM scores between 61.5 and 71.7% was calculated using gait heart rate (HR).
Results suggested that energy expenditure evaluation using HR was easily executed in the clinical practice and it can help therapeutic choices.
