About

The purpose of this research is to determine which performance based functional outcome test among Time up and go test, Five times sit to stand test, 2 minute walk test and 6 minute walk test has the greatest significance in improving functional outcomes in post-CABG surgery patients.

Full description

Coronary artery disease is the leading cause of death worldwide and has adverse effects on functionality. It causes functional limitations which affects the cardiac output resulting in reduced morbidity and mortality. To improve the life expectancy, an invasive surgical procedure is done known as CABG. To reduce the chances of reoccurrence of coronary artery disease post- CABG surgery patients are enrolled in the Cardiac Rehab program which focuses on improving quality of life of the patient, to increase life expectancy, improve functional independence and reduce chances of graft failure. In Cardiac Rehabilitation our focus would be on identifying the performance based functional outcome measure test which demonstrates the greatest clinimetric significance in improving functional outcome measure in post- CABG patients. The four clinimetric tests used in this research are time up and go test, five times sit to stand test, 2 minute walk test and 6 minute walk test on post operative day 3 and day 5 respectively. The result of this research would indicate which test is most significant in enhancing functionality of post-CABG patients providing valuable and evidence-based approach for healthcare providers to design rehabilitation protocols.

Post CABG surgery patients

Experimental group

Description:

The intervention includes 30-50 years old male and female post-CABG surgery patients. They will be recruited according to the inclusion criteria of the study and all baseline measurements will be taken from each participant to ensure readiness for the tests performed. The participants will undergo functionality based performance tests which include 5 Time sit to stand test, Time up and go test, 2 Minute walk test and 6 Minute walk test on post-op day 3 and day 5 respectively. The test will be performed twice on post-op day 3 and post-op day 5 with 6 hours minimum gap in between to promote patient recovery and test re-test reliability. Participants pre-test and post-test vitals will be taken and their test outcomes readings will be noted on the self-administered questionnaire.
