Exercises after myocardial infarction (first stage) >>>
At the second stage of the first stage (stationary mode or home bedding), the patient's task is to load the heart muscle in a sitting position: half-sitting, sitting on the edge of the bed, transferring to a chair. At this stage, the patient's physical efforts consist of the ability to sit up in bed on his own, hang his legs out of bed, and sit on a chair. The patient can eat independently while sitting in bed, on the bed or at the table, shave and wash, brush teeth while sitting on the bed or at the table, read while sitting on the bed or sitting on a chair, play board games. It is necessary to stay in a sitting position from 5 to 20 minutes continuously.
