Cardiac Rehabilitation Early after Sternotomy Using New Assistive VR-Enhanced Robotic Exoskeleton—Study Protocol for a Randomised Controlled Trial

(1) Background and objective: Cardiac rehabilitation (CR) means delivering health education by structured exercises with the means of risk reduction, in a cost-effective manner. Well-conducted CR improves functional capacity, decreases re-hospitalization, and reduces mortality up to 25%. We bring to...

Well-conducted CR improves functional capacity, decreases re-hospitalization, and reduces mortality up to 25%.

Secondary outcomes will encompass measurements of sternal stability, muscular activity, cardiac response to exercise, pain level and compliance/adherence to CR.
