The Effect of Video Game-Based Exercises After Open Heart Surgery

The study looks at how playing video games can help people after open heart surgery. After surgery, patients will be divided into two groups. One group will do regular heart exercises for 12 weeks, and the other group will do both heart exercises and video game exercises. The video games are called "Breathing Labs Breathing Games," and they help with breathing. The study will check how well patients breathe and how fit they are before and after the 12-week program.

• The study lasts for 12 weeks, with exercises done twice a day in the hospital and three days a week after leaving the hospital.
• Participants need to be younger than 65, have had open heart surgery, and be able to walk.
• People with certain medical issues, like uncontrolled diabetes or severe vision problems, can't join the study.
