What this Trial Is About
The aim of the study is to investigate the effects of an upper limb cycle ergometer in phase I CABG patients. This will likely enhance various outcomes such as quality of life, dyspnea, functional outcome measure, cardiovascular parameters, and upper limb mobility. If utilized, the arm ergometer may contribute to improve upper limb strength and endurance. This could result in improving upper limb range of motion and reducing the risk of adhesive capsulitis. This study will positively impact society by reducing morbidity and mortality rates, healthcare costs and ultimately improves patient care.
