Cardiac Rehabilitation Mobile-Health Fall Risk Prevention Intervention

An individualized home exercise physical function training will be prescribed. This would include 5 balance training exercises and 1-2 upper and lower-body muscular conditioning exercises (i.e., wall push-up and chair stand) prescribed 3 days/week over the course of a 6-week period. Subjects will be assigned exercises from 1 of 3 different levels of exercise progression based on performance during the baseline muscular fitness assessment (functional chair stand and static chest throw).

Standard, clinically indicated cardiac rehabilitation and exercise program. Approximately 30 to 40 minutes of aerobic exercise within a prescribed rating of perceived exertion (RPE 11-14) and/or target heart rate and approximately 15 to 20 minutes of both upper and lower body resistance exercise up to three times per week for up to at least 12 weeks. In addition, subjects are provided with home exercise instructions, and will be expected to exercise for 30 to 60 minutes at home.

Mobile application that allows subjects to track their independent home exercise with the option of heart rate monitoring by connecting to an external heart rate monitoring device.
