Introduction
The HUR hypertension concept is designed to be used in strength training as a
therapeutic modality in treatment of elevated blood pressure (BP) by using the HUR’s
Natural Transmission method.
The Natural Transmission Method is a resistance strength training method based on
pneumatic technology. The method allows for resistance to be adapted in response to
the muscle’s own force production, regardless of the speed of movement. An intelligent
technology system for automated reporting, close to zero starting load, 100 g/1 kg
increments in resistance, range limiters and additional support with connected outcome
measures to document the effectiveness, enables the user to start strength training safely
when considering the individual treatment prescriptions, e.g., appropriate medication.
The HUR hypertension concept helps the rehabilitation professionals to provide the best
practice of exercise-as-medicine, based on the latest international treatment guidelines,
to help individuals with elevated blood pressure levels engage in regular weekly physical
activity and to follow an exercise training regimen.
