Comparison of Postoperative Telerehabilitation and Unsupervised Home-Based Training in Older Adults With Lung Cancer: A Randomized Controlled Trial

The purpose of this study is to confirm the effectiveness of a mobile messenger-based home tele-rehabilitation protocol in patients who have undergone lung resection surgery.

By analyzing the difference from the existing postoperative pulmonary rehabilitation, the investigators would like to propose a new pulmonary tele-rehabilitation protocol.

1. Patients whose activity is restricted due to other diseases (e.g. osteoarthritis, spinal disease, cerebral infarction, etc.)
2. Patients who cannot test bioimpedance analysis due to the insertion of artificial pacemakers and defibrillators
3. A person who has difficulty judging himself/herself due to dementia, etc
4. Those enrolled in other clinical trials
5. A person deemed inappropriate to participate in this clinical trial under the judgement of the investigator.
