• Study Type: Interventional
• Study Design: Not specified

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Primary outcome measure was non-linear heart rate variability (HRV) indexes (approximate entropy and correlation dimension) after a short-term inpatient supervised physiotherapy protocol.<br>The heart rate and R-R intervals used to obtain measures of heart rate variability were registered continuously using a Polar S810i telemetry system[day before discharge (pre-discharge)]

Secondary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
As a secondary outcome measure we analyzed heart rate variability (HRV) indexes in traditional time domain measures (SD2 and RR tri index) after a short-term inpatient supervised physiotherapy protocol. The heart rate and R-R intervals used to obtain measures of heart rate variability were registered continuously using a Polar S810i telemetry system[day before discharge (pre-discharge)]
