Cardiac Rehabilitation Mobile-Health Fall Risk Prevention Intervention

Recruiting now · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Cardiac Rehabilitation

In brief

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

Who can join

Age: 18 and older. Sex: any. Healthy volunteers: not accepted.

You may qualify if…

• All patients referred to and who undergo early outpatient CR irrespective of diagnosis will be eligible for the study.
• All participants must have access to a smart mobile device.

You may not qualify if…

• Advanced dementia.
• Wheelchair bound.
• Vision loss.
• Patients that underwent sternotomy within 12-weeks will be excluded from the upper body muscular strength/power assessment and associated upper body training. At the time of enrollment into CR, balance, upper body muscular fitness, and lower body muscular fitness will be assessed in each subject before they are randomized at a 1:1 allocation ratio into one of two parallel groups:
• Standard early outpatient center-based supervised CR only (control; CR); or
• Early outpatient center-based supervised CR plus individualized, home-based, m-Health delivered physical function training (experimental group; CR+PFt). Balance, upper body muscular fitness, and lower body muscular fitness and gait will be reassessed in each participant after 5-to-6 weeks of CR and again upon completion of the CR program. Patient reported measures of fall risk will be measured at baseline with the Stop Elderly Accidents, Deaths, and Injuries (STEADI) tool kit. Balance confidence, health-related quality of life, physical activity level, and functional capacity will be evaluated before and after CR and CR+PFt using the Activities-Specific Balance Confidence (ABC) Scale, the Dartmouth Primary Care Cooperative Information Project (COOP) charts, and the Duke Activity Status Index (DASI).
