Question: In a rehabilitation training experiment for a neurological patient, a step change in treadmill speed of +2.5 km/h was made. The patient heart rate response
In a rehabilitation training experiment for a neurological patient, a step change in treadmill speed of +2.5 km/h was made. The patient heart rate response HR is given in Fig. E23.4.
(a) Derive an appropriate first-order-plus-time-delay model for the patient dynamics.
(b) The doctors wish to control the patients heart rate to a nearly constant value by adjusting treadmill speed. Using the IMC tuning rules, design a suitable PI controller for this patient. Simulate the response of the controller for a step change in the HR of +10 bpm. Calculate the settling time, overshoot, and rise time for the controller. Do these values seem reasonable for a medical application?
(c) How would you improve the procedure for fitting the patients initial dynamics?
