Effects of early mobilization exercises after heart surgery
Effect of Early Mobilization Exercises Guided by Wearable Technology on Functional Capacity After Coronary Artery Bypass Graft
This study is testing if starting exercise soon after heart surgery can help patients recover better, comparing regular care to aerobic and resistance exercises guided by wearable technology.

What this trial studies
This study evaluates the impact of early mobilization exercises on functional capacity following coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery. Patients will be randomly assigned to three groups: one receiving usual care, another receiving aerobic exercise, and the third receiving resistance exercise, all guided by wearable technology for real-time monitoring. The exercises will commence shortly after surgery and continue until discharge, with assessments made at baseline and prior to discharge. The aim is to determine how these interventions can enhance recovery and functional outcomes for patients post-surgery.
Who should consider this trial
Good fit: Ideal candidates are post-operative CABG patients aged 45-65 who are clinically stable and have functional lower limbs.
Not a fit: Patients with respiratory insufficiency, cardiogenic shock, or other serious complications may not benefit from this study.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this approach could significantly improve recovery times and functional capacity for patients after CABG surgery.
How similar studies have performed: Other studies have shown positive outcomes with early mobilization and exercise interventions in post-operative cardiac patients, suggesting a promising approach.
