Clinimetric Properties of Performance Based Functional Outcome Measure After (CABG) Surgery

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.

About this study

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.

Inclusion criteria

  • 30-50 years old
  • Post-op CABG patients
  • Include male and female both
  • Mobile patients
  • Post-op day 3 and day 5 of CABG surgery

Exclusion criteria

  • Occurrence of adverse events

Treatment and study plan

Physiotherapy Protocol

Other

Each participant consenting to the study will be given a physiotherapy session on post-op day 1 and day 2 by a physiotherapist. The session will include bed mobility exercises including active ROM exercises of all extremities, breathing exercises, nebulization and chest physical therapy, incentive spirometer. Progressing to supported sitting at the edge of bed, sitting on a chair under supervision, supported walk inside the room , sitting independently in chair and lastly before discharge climbing 2 flights of stair.

Primary outcomes

  1. Time up and go test

    Time frame: 6 hours

    On post op- day 3 and 5 Participants will quickly perform test to assess lower extremity strength and risk of fall. The time taken to complete test will be noted

  2. Five times sit to stand test

    Time frame: 6 hours

    On post-op day 3 and 5, Participants will perform test by transitioning from sitting to standing five times in row, time would be noted. This test helps to evaluate lower extremity balance and strength.

  3. 2 Minute walk test

    Time frame: 6 hours

    The test will be performed on post-op day 3 and 5, the participants will walk on a flat surface in a straight line and the distance will be noted. This test assess endurance

  4. 6 Minute walk test

    Time frame: 6 hours

    This is a self-paced test which will be performed on post-op day 3 and 5 where the participants have walk on a flat, smooth surface. The distance covered during this test will be noted. It measures aerobic capacity and endurance.
