Home-based telerehabilitation exercise

Experimental group

Description:

Exercise training is conducted in the patient's home conditions using modern technology to transfer medical data remotely - the participants receive a heart rate monitor and sensor. To know what to do and how to exercise, the first (1-2) exercise training sessions will be controlled by the physiotherapist in a rehabilitation clinic in the hospital, who creates individual exercise training for each patient. The patient's training data will be downloaded and updated regularly via the internet platform and clinicians will evaluate these results and provide patients with telephone feedback.

Treatment:

Device: Telerehablitation using heart rate monitor
