Brief summary

To determine the effects of scapular mobilization on pulmonary functions of post-CABG patients.

Interventions

OTHERConventional Treatment

Thrice a day for complete length of stay. This is Conventional treatment The total duration of session will be of 15-20 mins.

OTHERScapular Mobilization

Thrice a day for complete length of stay including two sets of repetitions with a rest interval of 30 seconds between sets. Grade 1-3 As reported in a study Scapular mobilization (SM) i.e., Scapular superior, inferior glides, upward and downward rotations and scapular distraction, along with Conventional treatment according to American Heart Association Guidelines i.e., Incentive spirometer, chest clearance, expectoration of the sputum (suctioning if needed), mobilizing the patient out of bed, AAROM and AROM exercises.
