Summary
This study tests whether a 6-week home exercise program delivered through a smartphone app can improve balance, muscle strength, and confidence in cardiac rehabilitation patients. Researchers will enroll 128 participants to see if the program reduces fall risk and improves quality of life. The exercises are tailored to each person's ability and can be done at home with minimal equipment.
