Activity-based Training After Myocardial Infarction

Cardiovascular diseases cause high morbidity and mortality, resulting in disability, medical complications and comorbidities. Patients who have MI experience motor, cognitive and sensory impairments, reduced quality of life and burdened the national economy. Cardiac rehabilitation aims to optimize patients' health services, reduce physical and psychological effects and increase activity return performance. The rehabilitation process includes physical activities and patient education starting in the early stages after MI. Psychosocial support and occupational therapy can accelerate patients' recovery and return to daily activities. Since there are inadequacies in the literature on this subject, this study aims to provide an effective educational intervention for patients who have MI and to examine a safe return to activity.
