Summary

The rapid mobilization of cardiac surgery patients within the first 48 postoperative hours in the intensive care unit is common practice and decisive for the outcome, especially in this group (over 65 years). If sitting on the edge of the bed was successful, a standing attempt is usually made. Both can be accompanied by blood pressure dysregulations in the sense of hypotensive phases as well as dizziness. Postural control is the ability of the body to balance an upright body position under the influence of gravity.The aim of the study is to investigate whether training with the Galileo device by means of vibration on the soles of the feet and / or by changing the position to 15 ° can improve the postural control and thus the postoperative mobilization of patients.

Conditions

  • Cardiovascular Risk Factor
  • Frailty

Interventions

OTHER

Vibration Plate

Vibration at 15° tilt, which means the patients partly use their own body weight (resistive vibration exercise).

OTHER

Tilt at 15°

To compare if a possible effect derives from the vibration or the tilting only, a second group was added who will only receive 10 min of 15° tilt without the vibration.

OTHER

Standard hospital mobilization

early mobilization of patients 24h post surgery, done routinely, and physiotherapy this is done routinely in all patients
