Effects of Different Exercise Interventions on Fall Risk and Gait Parameters in Frail Patients After Open Heart Surgery: A Pilot Study.

: Research on the effectiveness of different exercise programs on reducing fall risk and improving gait parameters among frail patients after open heart surgery is scarce. Therefore, the aim of this study was to evaluate and compare the effects of different exercise interventions on fall risk and gait parameters in frail patients after open heart surgery during inpatient rehabilitation. : A prospective randomized study was conducted at Kulautuva Hospital of Rehabilitation, Hospital of Lithuanian University of Health Sciences Kauno Klinikos, from July 2021 to November 2023.

Cardiac Function and Fatigue During Exoskeleton-Assisted Sit-to-Stand Maneuver and Walking in People with Stroke with Moderate to Severe Gait Disability: A Pilot Cross-Sectional Study.

Background: Wearable powered exoskeletons could be used to provide robotic-assisted gait training (RAGT) in people with stroke (PwST) and walking disability. The study aims to compare the differences in cardiac function, fatigue, and workload during activities of daily living (ADLs), while wearing an exoskeleton.

Methods: Five PwST were recruited in this pilot cross-sectional study.
