Effect of Phase I Cardiac Rehab With or Without Upper Limb Cycle Ergometer

Effects of Phase I Cardiac Rehabilitation With and Without Upper Limb Cycle Ergometer in Immediate Post-Operative Period of CABG

Sponsor

Riphah International University

Enrollment

44 participants

Start Date

Jul 17, 2025

Study Type

INTERVENTIONAL

Conditions

CAD

Summary

The aim of the study is to investigate the effects of an upper limb cycle ergometer in phase I CABG patients. This will likely enhance various outcomes such as quality of life, dyspnea, functional outcome measure, cardiovascular parameters, and upper limb mobility. If utilized, the arm ergometer may contribute to improve upper limb strength and endurance. This could result in improving upper limb range of motion and reducing the risk of adhesive capsulitis. This study will positively impact society by reducing morbidity and mortality rates, healthcare costs and ultimately improves patient care.

Interventions

OTHERupper limb exercise with arm ergometer

upper limb exercise on arm ergometer lasting 5 min at 30 rpm (Rotation per minute) 3 times a day for 7 days and standard treatment which includes breathing exercises (3 sets of 10 repetitions daily for 7 days); active upper and lower exercises (3 sets of 10 repetitions daily for 7 days) with bed inclined at 45°; ambulation within the inpatient wards for 6 min, transfer to chair (allocated at the side of bed sitting for 30min), that will be progressed as patient condition till 7th day
