Exercises for Early Mobilization of Patients Undergoing Open Heart Surgery With Virtual Reality Application

"The intervention involves the use of a virtual reality (VR)-supported mobilization program specifically designed for patients recovering from open-heart surgery. Participants wear a VR headset that delivers guided sessions comprising:~Breathing Exercises: Deep breathing and coughing techniques to support respiratory function and prevent complications.~Lower Limb Exercises: Interactive movements aimed at improving circulation and preventing venous stasis.~Mobilization Strategies: Gradual and guided steps to assist patients in transitioning from bed to ambulation, tailored to their recovery stage.~This intervention is unique because it integrates an immersive and engaging digital environment to promote physical activity, reduce anxiety, and enhance motivation during the critical early postoperative phase. Unlike standard rehabilitation practices, the VR program provides real-time feedback and visual cues to ensure correct execution of movements."
