Filter by:The goal of this study is to collect wearable sensor data that the investigators hypothesize will be useful in future algorithm development for monitoring recovering of participants enrolled in cardiac rehabilitation programs. Participants will be provided one or more smartwatches and/or smart rings to wear during a 14 week study which includes 2 weeks of baseline data collection and a 12-week, 36-session cardiac rehabilitation program. They will capture a pre-assessment 6 minute walk tests and a post-assessment 6 minute walk test. They will otherwise conduct standard cardiac rehabilitation program procedures and our sensors will capture data and sleep information throughout the study period.
To invegstive the Changes of Intestinal Flora and the improvements of Cardiac Fibrosis in Patients With Dilated Cardiomyopathy Diagnosed for the First Time by heart Rehabilitation
Cardiac Rehabilitation (CR) programs are a multidisciplinary process aimed at patient recovery after an acute cardiovascular event or with chronic heart disease, reducing mortality and morbidity, optimising functional capacity and improving quality of life. The aim is to maintain or recover the patient's clinical, physical and psychosocial condition, slowing down or halting the progression of the underlying disease process. It is based on the practice of personalized physical exercise and the adaptation of behaviours towards a healthier lifestyle, ensuring the reduction and control of risk factors. It is considered a cost-effective intervention that is explicitly and formally recommended by the most diverse and important scientific societies. Through the partnership and collaboration between the various health institutions and the academy, the CR program will take place on an outpatient basis, in a supervised manner, starting after risk stratification with a stress test and respective clinical assessment by a cardiologist. The coordinator of the CR program will be a cardiologist, and the entire multidisciplinary team will be responsible for effectiveness and safety, as well as patient assessment and progress.
The goal of this clinical pilot / feasibility study is to determine the feasibility of conducting a large-scale clinical effectiveness trial of the aktivplan digital intervention in cardiac rehabilitation patients. The main questions this study aims to answer are: - Is it feasible to conduct a large-scale (fully powered) effectiveness trial of the aktivplan digital intervention? - What is the usability, user experience and user acceptance of the aktivplan digital intervention? Patients enrolled in a phase II cardiac rehabilitation programme will be randomly allocated to either the intervention group (aktivplan digital intervention) ot the usual care control group and followed-up for 10 weeks after discharge from cardiac rehabilitation. Patients in the intervention group will be given the aktivplan application (app) on their smartphone. A rehabilitation professional will plan a personalised heart-healthy physical activity plan together with the patient and enter it to the aktivplan app. The patient will be asked to follow their personal physical activity plan for 10 weeks, using the aktivplan app to document completed physical activity sessions. Patients in the control group will receive the usual standard of care without the aktivplan digital intervention. Researchers will analyse information such as the rate of recruitment, participant attrition, data completeness and technical stability of the app to determine the feasibility of conducting a large-scale clinical effectiveness trial.
The goal of this clinical trial is to assess the effect of walking exercise on functional capacity and productivity in patients after Coronary Artery Bypass Graft who have completed phase II cardiac rehabilitation. The main question it aims to answer are: 1. What is the effect of walking exercise on functional capacity and productivity in patients after Coronary Artery Bypass Graft? Participants performed the exercise on the day agreed upon with the researcher. Respondents did walking exercises 3 times per week for 4 weeks with a duration of 10 minutes of warm-up, 30 minutes of walking exercises, and 10 minutes of cooling down. Respondents also did leg straightening every day for 4 weeks with a frequency of 1 time a day for 10 minutes. Researchers compared between intervention and control group to see if the effect between respondents who did walking and leg straightening exercises and also respondents who only did leg straightening.
A two-parallel, evaluator-blind, single-center, randomized controlled trial was designed to assess the effectiveness of a home-based mobile guided exercise-based cardiac rehabilitation among patients undergoing Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement.
The aim of this study is to evaluate feasibility, efficacy, and adherence of home-based cardiac rehabilitation with the integration of telemedicine. Several components will be assessed such as quality-of-life, nutritional counseling, maximum metabolic activity (MET's), diabetic management, tobacco cessation, lipid, blood pressure, and psychosocial management. These tasks will be accomplished through concurrent conversations between patients and their therapist's utilizing telemedicine with observed exercise training.
Comparison of open heart surgery patients with forward head posture with and without perioperative therapeutic exercise on craniovertebral angle, pulmonary function, balance and quality of life
Background: Cardiac rehabilitation (CR) services aim to improve heart disease patients' health and quality of life and reduce the risk of further cardiac events. Depression and anxiety are common among CR patients, and current psychological treatments for cardiac patients have minor effects. However, the NIHR-funded PATHWAY trial found that group Metacognitive Therapy (MCT) was associated with improvements in anxiety and depression when added to CR and was more effective than usual CR alone. Group MCT was also associated with preventing anxiety and depression. The next steps will establish beacon sites for delivering MCT and pilot-test additions to the national audit of cardiac rehabilitation (NACR) data capture mechanism to include an MCT data field. Such steps will support a quantitative and qualitative evaluation of implementation. Methods: The investigators aim to address questions concerning the quality of patient data recorded, level of adoption at sites, the characteristics of patients attending MCT, the impact of adding MCT to CR on mental health outcomes, and patient, healthcare staff and commissioner views of barriers/enablers to implementation. The investigators will deliver training in group MCT to CR staff from CR services across England. The investigators will conduct semi-structured qualitative interviews with CR staff trained in group MCT to assess views on the training programme, including successes and barriers to implementation of training and delivery. The investigators will interview 8-10 CR stakeholders to identify any barriers to implementation and how these might be resolved. Discussion: The study will support development of an NHS roll-out strategy and systematic data collection that can be used to evaluate wide-scale implementation. The study can benefit service users by improving patients' mental health outcomes and CR practitioners' clinical skills. Results will be disseminated via peer-reviewed journals, national and international conferences and service user/voluntary sector organisations and networks.
The purpose of this research is to see if taking part in a structured exercise plan that is designed to improve balance and muscle strength and one that can done at home helps to improve the ability to perform standard physical tasks, confidence in balance, and health-related quality-of-life
