Effect of Isometric Exercise Versus Hand Reflexology on Hemodynamic Parameters Among Patients With AMI
Sponsor: University of Baghdad
Summary
The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate the comparative effect of isometric exercise versus hand reflexology on primary hemodynamic parameters, fatigue, and anxiety in patients with acute myocardial infarction. Researcher will know which one of the interventional procedures (isometric exercise, hand reflexology, or hand reflexology and hand reflexology) was more effective to primary hemodynamic parameters, fatigue, and anxiety. Each participant in the isometric exercise group receives included ankle exercises, knee workouts, head exercises, static abdominis exercises, and sustained hand grip exercises. Every contraction lasted for 10 seconds, 10 repetitions, two IE sessions over a period of three days. Each IE session lasted between 25 and 35 minutes. Each participant in the hand reflexology group underwent two the sessions of hand reflexology. Each session had a duration of 15 minutes, which was then followed by a five-minute period of rest

Isometric exercise and hand reflexology
Each participant in the isometric exercise group receives included ankle exercises, knee workouts, head exercises, static abdominis exercises, and sustained hand grip exercises. Every contraction lasted for 10 seconds, 10 repetitions, two IE sessions over a period of three days. Each IE session lasted between 25 and 35 minutes. Each participant in the hand reflexology group underwent two the sessions of hand reflexology. Each session had a duration of 15 minutes, which was then followed by a five-minute period of rest. While isometric exercise- hand reflexology experimental group was given for the participant, the same intervention of isometric exercise and hand reflexology groups Furthermore, no interventions were done for the control group (received routine care only).
