Investigation of the Effects of Respiratory Muscle Training Combined With Otago Exercises in Elderly Patients Undergoing Coronary Artery Bypass Graft Surgery
Sponsor: Istanbul University - Cerrahpasa
Summary
A review of the literature suggests that high-intensity intermittent inspiratory muscle training (IMT) combined with the Otago exercise program may provide positive effects on early post-discharge recovery of patients aged 65 years and older undergoing coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery. No studies have yet examined the effects of high-intensity intermittent IMT combined with the Otago exercise program on patients undergoing CABG surgery. This study is the first to evaluate the effects of high-intensity intermittent IMT combined with the Otago exercise program on pulmonary function, functional capacity, muscle strength, functional mobility, balance, anxiety and depression levels, frailty, and quality of life in elderly patients undergoing CABG surgery.

Interventions
High-intensity intermittent IMT and Otago Exercises Group
Patients in the experimental group will perform 7 sets of high-intensity intermittent inspiratory muscle training (IMT) for eight weeks, one day a week face-to-face with the researcher and two days at home, for a total of three days, each set consisting of 2 minutes of loading and 1 minute of rest for a total of 21 minutes. The Otago exercise program will be conducted for eight weeks, two days a week home-based and one day face-to-face with the researcher. The Otago exercise program will be complemented with walking exercise every day of the week. The Otago exercise program is designed to be progressive. The protocol was created to increase the difficulty of training at four different levels and every 2 weeks. The Otago exercise program will be applied to both the experimental group and the control group in the same protocol.
Sham IMT and Otago Exercises Group
Patients in the control group will perform 7 sets of sham inspiratory muscle training (IMT), consisting of 2 minutes of loading and 1 minute of rest in each set for a total of 21 minutes, one day a week face-to-face with the researcher and two days at home, for eight weeks. The Otago exercise program will be conducted for eight weeks, two days a week home-based and one day face-to-face with the researcher. The Otago exercise program will be complemented with walking exercise every day of the week. The Otago exercise program is designed to be progressive. The protocol was created to increase the difficulty of training at four different levels and every 2 weeks. The Otago exercise program will be applied to both the experimental group and the control group in the same protocol.
