Summary

Coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) is one of the common procedure used in coronary artery disease patients which has significant impact on cardiopulmonary and musculoskeletal systems. In the past, phase 1 rehabilitation after procedure focus on cardiopulmonary system. Lower limb rehabilitation is also important part as it influence the cardiac function. Several studies work on post-CABG patients to improve cardiopulmonary fitness but there is less number of data on calf muscles rehabilitation in post-CABG patients. So this study aims to increase the calf muscle extensibility using post-isometric relaxation technique and static stretching.

Conditions

  • Coronary Artery Bypass

Interventions

PROCEDURE

post-isometric relaxation technique

Post-isometric relaxation technique will be performed by asking the patient to contract his calf muscles using 20% of his strength. Maintain the contraction for 10 second with 15 second of rest time between each contractions. A total of 4 contractions will be performed.

PROCEDURE

Static stretching

Static stretching will be performed by asking patient to perform dorsiflexion till the point of discomfort. The patient will hold the stretch for 15 second and 5 repetitions will be performed.

PROCEDURE

Basic Cardiac Rehabilitation Protocol

Ankle pumps, leg slides, walking
