Effects of Phase I Cardiac Rehabilitation With and Without Upper Limb Cycle Ergometer in Immediate Post-Operative Period of CABG
Status: Recruiting
Location: See location...
Intervention Type: Other
Study Type: Interventional
Study Phase: Not Applicable
SUMMARY
The aim of the study is to investigate the effects of an upper limb cycle ergometer in phase I CABG patients. This will likely enhance various outcomes such as quality of life, dyspnea, functional outcome measure, cardiovascular parameters, and upper limb mobility. If utilized, the arm ergometer may contribute to improve upper limb strength and endurance. This could result in improving upper limb range of motion and reducing the risk of adhesive capsulitis. This study will positively impact society by reducing morbidity and mortality rates, healthcare costs and ultimately improves patient care.

Treatments
Experimental: upper limb exercise with arm ergometer
Group A will receive upper limb exercise on arm ergometer lasting 5 min at 30 rpm (Rotation per minute) 3 times a day for 7 days and standard treatment which includes breathing exercises (3 sets of 10 repetitions daily for 7 days); active upper and lower exercises (3 sets of 10 repetitions daily for 7 days) with bed inclined at 45°; ambulation within the inpatient wards for 6 min, transfer to chair (allocated at the side of bed sitting for 30min), that will be progressed as patient condition till 7th day
