Summary

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.

Detailed 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
