Coronary Artery Bypass Graft Surgery(CABG)
Conditions
Brief summary
Background:There are still many gaps in research concerning the effect of balance training on functional capacity of patient after coronary artery bypass graft. Aims: The purpose of this study was to examine the effect of balance training on patients after coronanry artery bypass graft surgery.
Detailed description
Methods: Sixty male patients under went CABG with ages 55-65 years Patients were randomly randomized into to two groups equal in number 30 in each group. (Group A: study group, Group B: control group).All patients were thoroughly evaluated one day after extubation and day 6 after operation. Berg Balance Scale (BBS): is a test used to assess patients functional balance , the sit to stand test(STS) used to asses patients functional capacity and SF36 is questionnaire used to assess quality of life with patients. all of those tests done before and after training sessions with both groups. and compare the length of hospital stay between both groups.
Interventions
COMBINATION_PRODUCTBalance Training
Balance exercises and cardiac rehabilitation (intervention) for patients for 7 Days, 3 times/week for duration of 25-30 min/ session.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Berg balance scale(BBS) | 7 Days | (0 indicating the lowest level ,4 indicating the highest level ) data about balance from BBS index. |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| sit to stand test(SST)in seconds | 1st day and 7th day | represent functional capacity (duration of 5 times sit to stand) |
| length of hospital stay (in Days) | from 1st day | number of days spent in hospital |
| SF36 Questionnaire( scores) | 3rd day | Scores range from 0 - 100 Lower scores = more disability, higher scores = less disability |
