Congruency and responsiveness of perceived exertion and task duration associated with an intermittent isometric fatigue task

Purpose: The shift away from supervised rehabilitation towards greater self-management requires that people are able to accurately self-monitor their exercise performance and exertion and apply appropriately dosed exercise to achieve optimal outcomes. An extended period of sub-optimal exercise may result in insufficient physiological stress to restore knee function and recovery to a level of PA similar to asymptomatic peers. Subsequently greater post-operative healthcare burdens may be imposed on limited NHS resources.
