What this trial studies
This study investigates the impact of Clinical Pilates exercises on kinesiophobia and post-operative cardiopulmonary parameters in patients who have undergone coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). It aims to address the psychological fear of rehabilitation exercises that may hinder recovery and lead to adverse outcomes. By incorporating Pilates into cardiac rehabilitation, the study seeks to improve both physical and psychological recovery in these patients. The research builds on previous findings that Pilates can be safe and effective for post-surgical patients.
Who should consider this trial
Good fit: Ideal candidates are hemodynamically stable patients who have undergone elective CABG and are diagnosed with kinesiophobia.
Not a fit: Patients with neuromuscular conditions, severe functional impairments, or those requiring maximum assistance may not benefit from this study.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this approach could enhance recovery and rehabilitation outcomes for CABG patients by reducing fear and improving physical function.
How similar studies have performed: Previous studies have shown that Pilates can be beneficial for post-CABG recovery, but this specific focus on kinesiophobia is novel.
