Brief summary
The quality of life, linked to physical, social and mental performance in people with coronary heart disease represents the primary goals in terms of rehabilitation. This is often developed to meet the expected performance standard in order to give the person effective autonomy. However, is the occupational balance always evaluated? and this management adapted? Does occupational therapist, expert in autonomy and independence in multiple illnesses and disabilities, has a major role to play in cardiac rehabilitation? This area of expertise and the application of occupational therapy to coronary patients seems appropriate, if not necessary. However, there are few scientific studies on the need to include occupational therapy within cardiac rehabilitation protocols.
Detailed description
The occupational therapy goals are in line with the theoretical objectives of coronary rehabilitation. At present, there is a lack of data on the benefits of coronary occupational therapy rehabilitation. Goals : Evaluation of the quality of life of coronary heart patients who have benefited from cardiac rehabilitation optimized by secondary occupational therapy sessions: Evaluation of aerobic and anaerobic performance of coronary heart patients who have benefited from cardiac rehabilitation optimized by occupational therapy sessions. Evaluation of aerobic and anaerobic performance of coronary heart patients who have benefited from cardiac rehabilitation optimized by occupational therapy sessions.
