Effect of Technology-Assisted Preoperative Home Exercise on Postoperative Handgrip Strength, Muscle Endurance, and Psychological Distress in Patients With Pulmonary Nodules Undergoing Video-Assisted Thoracoscopic Surgery
Effect of Technology-Assisted Intervention Program on Postoperative Handgrip Strength, Muscle Endurance, and Psychological Distress in Patients With Pulmonary Nodules
Source: ClinicalTrials.gov · Last updated 24 Dec 2025
Brief summary (registry, in English)
This study aims to evaluate the effects of a technology-assisted preoperative home-based exercise program, delivered through a LINE Official Account and LINE BOT, on postoperative hand-grip strength, muscle endurance, and psychological distress in patients undergoing thoracoscopic pulmonary nodule resection. The study adopts a single-group pretest post-test design and plans to recruit 60 eligible patients. The intervention consists of at least one week of home exercise training before surgery, incorporating aerobic, resistance, and breathing exercises. Education, guidance, and interactive feedback are provided through the LINE platform to support adherence and exercise performance. Outcomes will be assessed at three time points: baseline (T0), immediately before surgery (T1), and two weeks after surgery (T2).
