Cardiac Rehabilitation Mobile-Health Fall Risk Prevention Intervention
Sponsor: Mayo Clinic
Summary
The purpose of this research is to see if taking part in a structured exercise plan that is designed to improve balance and muscle strength and one that can done at home helps to improve the ability to perform standard physical tasks, confidence in balance, and health-related quality-of-life

Conditions
Interventions
Home-based, m-Health Delivered Physical Function Training
An individualized home exercise physical function training will be prescribed. This would include 5 balance training exercises and 1-2 upper and lower-body muscular conditioning exercises (i.e., wall push-up and chair stand) prescribed 3 days/week over the course of a 6-week period. Subjects will be assigned exercises from 1 of 3 different levels of exercise progression based on performance during the baseline muscular fitness assessment (functional chair stand and static chest throw).
Cardiac Rehabilitation & Exercise Prescription
Standard, clinically indicated cardiac rehabilitation and exercise program. Approximately 30 to 40 minutes of aerobic exercise within a prescribed rating of perceived exertion (RPE 11-14) and/or target heart rate and approximately 15 to 20 minutes of both upper and lower body resistance exercise up to three times per week for up to at least 12 weeks. In addition, subjects are provided with home exercise instructions, and will be expected to exercise for 30 to 60 minutes at home.
Connected mHealth mobile application
Mobile application that allows subjects to track their independent home exercise with the option of heart rate monitoring by connecting to an external heart rate monitoring device.
