Study Overview
Brief Summary
To determine the effects of Baduanjin sequential therapy (BST) on physical functioning and quality of life among post-CABG patients. Many studies have focused on the effects of standing Baduanjin on chronic diseases and it's an evidence-based therapy.
Detailed Description
There exists limited data from large-scale randomized trials that have addressed the effect of Baduanjin exercise on the quality of life and cardiac function in the patient with CABG. Therefore, this study aims to determine the effects of Baduanjin sequential therapy (BST) on physical functioning and quality of life among post-CABG patients.

Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Functional capacity
Time Frame: 4 weeks
Changes from baseline to 4 weeks, measured through 6 min walk test (6 MWT) used to measure Functional capacity. It is a submaximal exercise test that can aid in assessing the functional capacity of patients with cardiopulmonary diseases, in this test we find out the maximum distance in meters that an individual covers in 6 min without any support.
Functional performance
Time Frame: 4 weeks
Changes from baseline to 4 weeks, measured through Short physical performance battery. It is a commonly used tool in clinical setting for measuring the physical performance of patients. It is divided into three subtests: balance, a short walk at normal pace and lastly standing up from a chair five times repeatedly. These subsets exemplify core tasks being important for independent living. Scoring of each test range from s 0 (worst performance) to 4 (best performance). The sum total for the entire battery is between 0 to 12 which is the sum of all 3 tests. The cutoff point is 10 or lower for mobility impairment. Low scores on shows health consequences related with disability in Activities of Daily Living.
Health related Quality of Life (QOL)
Time Frame: 4 weeks
Changes from baseline to 4 weeks, measured through Short Form 36 Health Survey Questionnaire (SF-36) that is used to indicate the health status of a particular population. This tool consists of eight domains comprising functional capability, role physical functioning, role emotional functioning, psychological state, liveliness, social affairs, bodily pain, and overall health. Responses are marked on a Likert scale comprising of 5 points and then converted on a scale of 100. Attaining scores more than 50 indicated a better state of health and the lower score the more disability.
