Effects of Balance Training on Functional Capacity of Patients After Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting Surgery

Not Applicable

Completed

• Conditions: Coronary Artery Bypass Graft Surgery(CABG)

• Registration Number: NCT06490458
• Lead Sponsor: Cairo University

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.

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Berg balance scale(BBS)	7 Days	(0 indicating the lowest level ,4 indicating the highest level ) data about balance from BBS index.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
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
