A clinical trial, NCT06385041, is currently underway to assess the effects of interactive physical therapy tools on various aspects of elderly patients' lives after open heart surgery. The trial aims to collect data on comorbidities and surgery history, evaluate frailty levels, measure fear of falling, assess quality of life, and determine motivation levels. Additionally, the trial will measure changes in functional capacity, physical performance, muscular strength, grip strength, balance parameters, and stance and gait parameters. The study is ongoing and is expected to be completed by September 2025. [Extracted from the article]
