Brief Summary

This study will be randomized controlled trial with non-probability purposive sampling. Study conducted among post CABG patients. Sample size will be 56, 28 in each group. Outcome will be measured by using 6 minute walk test, Spirometry (FVC, FEV1/FVC and PEF), Functional Independence Measure.

Detailed Description

This study will be randomized controlled trial with non-probability purposive sampling. Study conducted among post CABG patients. Descriptive analysis will be applied. Data will be collected from Rehmatul lil Alameen Institute of cardiology Lahore. Sample size will be 56, 28 in each group. In addition to the routine Phase 1 cardiac rehabilitation for experimental group the exercise protocol consisted of 10 minutes of warm up, elastic band strength exercise protocol (30 minutes) and cool down (5 minutes) so that an exercise session lasted about 45-50 minutes, exercise will performed circularly 2 sets, 10 repetition with a 2 minute rest after each cycle and monitored the performance of exercise for 6 days. Resisted band exercise are Extending thighs, Closing thighs, Opening thighs, Bending thighs, Dorsiflexion, Plantarflexion. For control group routine Phase 1 cardiac rehabilitation only. Outcome will be measured by using 6 minute walk test, Spirometry (FVC, FEV1/FVC and PEF), Functional Independence Measure.

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Forced vital capacity (FVC)	6 Days	Forced vital capacity (FVC) is the amount of air that can be forcibly exhaled from your lungs after taking the deepest breath possible. It's measured by spirometry
6 Minute Walk Test	6 Days	The 6 Minute Walk Test is a sub-maximal exercise test used to assess aerobic capacity and endurance. The distance covered over a time of 6 minutes is used as the outcome by which to compare changes in performance capacity
FEV1/FVC ratio	6 Days	The FEV1/FVC ratio is the ratio of the forced expiratory volume in the first one second to the forced vital capacity of the lungs. The normal value for this ratio is above 0.75-85. It's measured by spirometry
Forced expiratory volume (FEV1)	6 Days	Forced expiratory volume (FEV1) calculates the amount of air that a person can force out of their lungs in 1 second. It's measured by spirometry
Functional Independence Measure	6 Days	The Functional Independence Measure (FIM) is an instrument that was developed as a measure of disability for a variety of populations and is not specific to any diagnosis. The FIM instrument Includes measures of independence for self-care, including sphincter control, transfers, locomotion, communication, and social cognition.; Is an 18-item, seven-level, ordinal scale intended to be sensitive to changes over the course of a comprehensive inpatient medical rehabilitation program.; Uses the level of assistance an individual needs to grade functional status from total independence to total assistance).; The tool is used to assess a patient's level of disability as well as a change in patient status in response to rehabilitation or medical intervention.; FIM 3 levels.
