What this trial studies
The JUMPSTART program is a virtual, self-directed early mobilization initiative designed for patients recovering from Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement (TAVR) at Hamilton General Hospital. It includes a series of exercise videos tailored to varying levels of intensity, allowing patients to engage in rehabilitation from home after discharge. The program aims to enhance recovery by optimizing participation and evaluating outcomes through follow-up surveys and administrative data. Eligible patients will be introduced to the program during their pre-TAVR clinic visit and can choose to participate in the research aspect of the program.
Who should consider this trial
Good fit: Ideal candidates are outpatients who have undergone a TAVR procedure and successfully completed a pre-discharge ambulation assessment.
Not a fit: Patients who are hospitalized after the procedure or have specific complications, such as those requiring a pacemaker, may not benefit from this program.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this program could significantly improve the recovery and quality of life for TAVR patients post-discharge.
How similar studies have performed: Similar approaches in early mobilization programs have shown promise in improving recovery outcomes, suggesting potential success for this initiative.
