The JUMPSTART Program: Encouraging Early Mobilization and Optimizing Recovery of TAVR Patients' Post-hospital Discharge

The intervention is an early mobilization protocol (JUMPSTART). Four interactive exercise videos, at different intensity levels, include a variety of stretches and exercises designed to improve the full body mobilization of post-TAVR patients. Videos have been developed in consultation with a physiotherapist and cardiac rehabilitation specialist and have been piloted for initial acceptability by patients at the Hamilton General Hospital. The videos will be freely accessible to all eligible patients and their caregivers (regardless of participation in the research study) online (www.hhscebi.ca/projects/jumpstart). A written version of the exercise program, with photographs and detailed instructions, will also be made available. Additional exercise videos will be developed based on patients' needs and feedback received.
