Clinical Pilates (CP) Exercises and Kinesiophobia in CABG

To determine Effect of Clinical Pilates (CP) exercises on kinesiophobia and post-operative cardiopulmonary parameters in CABG patients. Kinesiophobia may lead to patients' psychological fear of rehabilitation exercise, thereby refusing rehabilitation exercise, affecting the rehabilitation process of patients, resulting in disuse syndrome, depression, disability and other adverse consequences. Thus, this study is to be conducted to find out the effects Pilates exercises with cardiac rehabilitation for management of Kinesiophobia in post CABG patients.

About this study

Clinical Pilates are also evident to be safe and effective in post-surgical patients with different surgical interventions.

A study was conducted in 2021 to evaluate the effects of the Pilates method on pulmonary function and range of motion after coronary artery bypass grafting and concluded that the Pilates method is a safe, viable, and playful option for the patient profile after CABG but they did not evaluate kinesiophobia of patients

Treatment and study plan

Clinical Pilates

Other

Warmup: 5-10 minutes Pilates Clinical (Introductory program) The Hundred modified The Roll-up modified The roll-over modified Spine twist modified Single-leg circle modified Rolling like a ball Shoulder Bridge modified

For every Step emphasizing:

FOCUS: On muscle involved REPETITIONS: 3-5 VISUALIZATION: Imagination process (Different for each step) Cool down: 5 minutes Total Time: 30 minutes

Cardiac rehabilitation

Other

Chest Physical therapy (Chest percussions and active huffs as per need) Breathing strategies (Diaphragmatic and purse lip 1-3 sets * 5 Reps/Day)

Functional mobility (walk /cycling as per patient tolerance)

Patient education and Wound care Sternal Precaution guidance

Primary outcomes

  1. Kinesiophobia

    Time frame: 2 weeks, 4 weeks

    Changes from baseline to 2 weeks and 4 weeks after intervention, measured through the TSK-SV Heart specifically focuses on assessing Kinesiophobia in the context of cardiac conditions or symptoms. It include questions related to fear of engaging in physical activity due to concerns about cardiac events (such as heart palpitations, chest pain, or shortness of breath) during exercise or daily activities. The 17 item TSK total scores range from 17 to 68 where the lowest 17 means no or negligible Kinesiophobia, and the higher scores indicate an increasing degree of Kinesiophobia.

  2. Abnormal heart rhythms

    Time frame: 2 Weeks, 6 Weeks

    Post-operative period and discharge day observed through Electrocardiography (ECG) on cardiac monitor.

Secondary outcomes

  1. Functional mobility

    Time frame: 2 weeks, 4 weeks

    Changes from baseline to 2 weeks and 4 weeks after intervention, measured through the 10 meter walk test. It is a performance measure test used to assess walking speed in meters per second over a short distance . It can be employed to determine functional mobility.
