Modulated kinesitherapy (MK) is a new method based on synchronization of vegetative and motor components in walking at a pace corresponding to actual heart rate which is maintained during the procedure with cardiotrainer Marafon. MK produced the following therapeutic effects: optimization of cardiovascular functions (weakening of postload on the heart with lowering of arterial pressure; improvement of coronary blood flow, stabilization of the heart rate and cardiac pump function); marked antiarrhythmic effect, normalization of autonomic nervous system tonicity, neurohumoral and psychoemotional state. MK is indicated in ischemic heart disease, essential hypertension, cardiac arrhythmia, vegetovascular asthenia.
