The Effects of Neurophysiological Facilitation Techniques After Coronary Artery Bypass Graft Surgery

The aim of the study is to investigate the effects of neurophysiological facilitation techniques, applied in addition to Phase I cardiac rehabilitation in the early postoperative period after coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery, on left ventricular function, respiratory functions, and functional capacity.

About this study

In this prospective randomized controlled study, participants will be randomly divided into two groups: the control group, which will receive Phase I cardiac rehabilitation, and the treatment group, which will receive Phase I cardiac rehabilitation along with the application of neurophysiological facilitation techniques. The participants' left ventricular function, respiratory functions, and functional capacity will be assessed before and after the interventions.
