Methods for assessing exercise fidelity in unsupervised home-based cardiovascular rehabilitation: a scoping review.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Home-based cardiac rehabilitation is increasingly popular for patients with cardiovascular diseases. However, this mode of rehabilitation involves unsupervised exercise, making it challenging to assess, correct, and monitor exercise fidelity (the extent to which the patient performs the exercise intended by the intervention provider). This review aimed to identify the range, validity, and acceptability of measures for assessing exercise fidelity in unsupervised, home-based cardiovascular rehabilitation.

Methods

We searched PubMed, Embase, CINAHL, Medline, and PsycINFO for studies published between 2000 and 2024 to identify observational studies, trials, and protocols published in English with a home-based cardiovascular rehabilitation intervention and at least one
