Key result
Home-based CR achieves only 47% weekly participation, limited primarily by lack of motivation.
Why the study?
Cardiac rehabilitation remains underutilized and there is less structured experience with home-based programs, requiring further studies to investigate patient-perceived facilitators and barriers to home-based rehabilitation exercise.
Population
116 cardiovascular disease patients transitioning from centre-based to home-based cardiac rehabilitation
Comparison
Home-based digital cardiac rehabilitation program
Design
Prospective cohort study

Supports feasibility of structured CR-HB during disruptions; leaves open questions on sustained adherence and outcomes in diverse cohorts.
Cohort (n=116)
Home-based cardiac rehabilitation programs face significant participation barriers, primarily lack of motivation and preference for outdoor activities, highlighting the need for targeted strategies to improve patient engagement.
Brito et al. (2021) conducted a cohort in Cardiovascular disease (n=116). Home-based cardiac rehabilitation was evaluated on Participation in at least one online exercise training session per week. Among 116 cardiovascular disease patients, only 47% participated in at least one home-based cardiac rehabilitation session per week, with lack of motivation (38%) cited as the primary barrier.
