Abstract
Background: Web application for shoulder exercise and physical activity recommendations after cardiac implantable electronic devices (CIED) implantation is used to inform an appropriate time for shoulder exercise programs and physical activities after CIED implantation to medical personnel and patients. However, the effects of this application and its recommendations have not been discovered.
Objective: This study aimed to examine the satisfaction of medical personnel in using the web application and to study the conditions of frozen shoulder syndrome and the deposition of CIED or its electrodes’ incidence from inappropriate physical activities in patients after three-month CIED implantation.
Methods: The web application was developed and tested to operate correctly. Medical personnel’s satisfaction following a 5-point Likert scale was evaluated. All patients’ records who underwent CIED implantation at the hospital in 2023 were reviewed. The diagnoses of frozen shoulder syndrome and the deposition of CIED or its electrodes’ incidence from inappropriate physical activities of patients after three-month CIED implantation were reviewed. Descriptive statistical analysis was conducted.
Results: Ten medical personnel reported an average score of 4.79. Among 327 patients with CIED implantation, 0.3% were diagnosed with frozen shoulder syndrome. And there was no incidence of the deposition of CIED or its electrodes from inappropriate physical activities in patients reported.
Conclusion: The web application program for shoulder exercise and physical activity recommendations in patients after CIED implantation worked effectively and accurately. The users expressed satisfaction and it also helped the patients to move their shoulders and have appropriate physical activities.
