About

Heart and blood vessel problems together referred to as cardiovascular diseases (CVD) include congenital heart disease, cerebrovascular illness, and coronary heart disease.

Following heart surgery, patients who are active in the postoperative phase stay in the hospital for shorter periods of time and experience fewer complications.

After cardiac surgery, older adults who exercise during the recovery period experience fewer difficulties and hospitalizations.

A total of 100 elderly patients-69 men and 31 women-who had undergone cardiac surgery and were up to 65 years old-voluntarily took part in the study. There were fifty patients in each of the two groups that the participants were divided into: the early mobilization group (Group A) and the control group (Group B).

Older patients undergoing cardiac surgery also experienced improved balance as a result of early mobilization and functional exercises.

Full description

A total of 100 geriatric patients-69 men and 31 women-who had undergone heart surgery and were up to 65 years old-voluntarily took part in the study. There were fifty patients in each of the two groups that the participants were divided into: the early mobilization group (Group A) and the control group (Group B). The patients in early mobilization group underwent early mobilization and functional exercises program, while the patients served as the control group did not receive the therapy protocol applied in the early mobilization group

Enrollment: 100 estimated patients

Sex: All

Ages: 65+ years old

Volunteers: No Healthy Volunteers

Inclusion criteria

Individuals who had previously had valve replacement procedures or coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) and if all of these procedures were done by sternotomy were included in the study. The study's patients were all classified as geriatric, with ages ranging from 65 to 75. There were people of both genders in the sample. Throughout their recovery, patients who were awake, conscious, and able to communicate vocally as well as those who were able to understand and complete scales and questionnaires. Patients who signed consent forms voluntarily agreed to participate, as well as those who successfully passed the two-minute walk test (2MWT), which assesses how long it takes to walk for two minutes.

Exclusion criteria

• Patients unable to complete the two-minute walk test (2MWT), scales, or questionnaires. Individuals who suffered from stroke, extensive bleeding, renal failure or insufficiency, atrial fibrillation, the necessity for a second operation, or a serious infection of the sternal wound following surgery. Those who struggle with vocal and auditory communication. individuals who underwent surgery and had a pacemaker inserted. those who have experienced a prior cerebrovascular accident. Those who have suffered from neurological disorders like hemiplegia after heart surgery and mental health problems like intellectual incapacity.
