Feasibility and Preliminary Evaluation and the Effects of Exercise-based Telerehabilitation on the Acceptability and Safety, and Clinical Effectiveness Among Patients With Coronary Heart Disease Undergoing the Cardiac Rehabilitation Program
Study Overview
Status
Conditions
Detailed Description
Feasibility study objective: - To investigate the feasibility and preliminary of exercise-based telerehabilitation before undertaking full-scale RCT.
Randomized control trial objective: -
- Primary Objective: To determine the exercise capacity among patients with CHD,
- Secondary Objectives: To assess patient exercise adherence and determine the changes in other clinical health outcomes.
Study Population: Patients with coronary heart disease
Description of Sites/Facilities Enrolling Participants: Patient engagement with the cardiac rehabilitation phase 2 (CRP2) at the University Malaya Medical Centre (UMMC).
Description of Study Intervention: This study is a mixed-methods study consisting of a quantitative study (feasibility, preliminary evaluation, and full randomized control trial) and a qualitative study (interviewing). The present study will be conducting a single-blinded, three-arm, parallel over a 12-weeks study period during CRP2. Measurement will be collected during pre-and post-test.
