Introduction The HUR cardiac rehabilitation concept is designed to be used as a therapeutic modality in exercise-based cardiac rehabilitation 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 patient to start rehabilitation early and safely when coronary artery disease (CAD) is stable and the patient is on appropriate medication. The HUR cardiac rehabilitation concept helps the rehabilitation professional to provide best practice of exercise-as-medicine, based on the latest international treatment guidelines, to help people with CAD to engage in regular weekly physical activity and to follow an exercise training regimen. 49
