Conditions
Interventions
Aerobic training
Participants in the experimental group will receive arm ergometer training performed at the bedside for 10-15 minutes, twice daily, at low-to-moderate intensity corresponding to 40-50% of the age-predicted maximum heart rate, under appropriate monitoring. The intervention will be continued throughout the hospitalization period for a minimum duration of three weeks.
Inspiratory muscle training
Participants in the experimental group will receive inspiratory muscle training using a threshold device set at 30% of maximal inspiratory pressure, performed twice daily for 15 minutes per session. The training load will be progressively increased according to patient tolerance, and the intervention will be continued throughout the hospitalization period for a minimum duration of three weeks.
Cognitive training
Participants in the experimental group will receive computerized cognitive training consisting of 20-minute daily sessions targeting attention, memory, and problem-solving abilities. The intervention will be implemented throughout the hospitalization period and will continue for a minimum duration of three weeks.
Conventional therapy
Participants in both groups will receive conventional therapy. The intervention will be implemented throughout the hospitalization period and will continue for a minimum duration of three weeks.
