About

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.

Full 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.

Enrollment: 60 patients

Sex: Male

Ages: 55 to 65 years old

60 participants in 2 patient groups

Group A :( Study group)

Active Comparator group

Description:

Underwent balance training and cardiac rehabilitation program for a duration of 25-30 min (total session) at a frequency of three times/week (every other day). The balance training was: a- Functional strength exercise b- Stance exercise c- Transition exercise D-Gait training e- Cardiac rehabilitation program .

Treatment:

Combination Product: Balance Training

Group B (control group)

Active Comparator group

Description:

underwent cardiac rehabilitation program only for a duration of 25-30 min (total session) at a frequency of three times/week (day after day). the control group, received cardiac rehabilitation program only.

Treatment:

Combination Product: Balance Training
