About this study
Official title: Effect of Early Mobilization Exercises Guided by Wearable Technology on Functional Capacity After Coronary Artery Bypass Graft
purpose: This study aims to assess the effects of early mobilization exercises guided by wearable technology on functional capacity after coronary artery bypass graft Methods: Patients will be randomly assigned into three groups: Group A will receive usual care, Group B will receive usual care in addition to aerobic exercise, and Group C will receive usual care in addition to resistance exercise. both the aerobic exercise group and the resistance exercise group will be guided by wearable artificial intelligence ECG monitors for real-time support and guidance, and they will stop exercise when any adverse events occur.
Exercises will be started early from post operative CABG until patients discharge and measurements will be taken at baseline and before discharge
Read the detailed description
- Procedure for evaluation and training
Equipment:
The following instruments will be used:
- Pulse oximeter: It will be used for measuring oxygen saturation and Heart rate before, during, and after sessions and during exercise test
- Intelligent cardiac monitor: used during 6MWT to detect any adverse events during and immediately after the test and also be used during sessions
- Rating of perceived exertion: to estimate effort and exertion during the test and working phase.
- Cycle ergometer: upper and lower pedaling machine will be adjusted to suit all patients' height during exercise sessions
- Dumbbells and weights will be used during exercise sessions Exercise (treatment) procedures
- Group (A): (usual care group):
Start early mobilization exercises and deep breathing exercises with wound support daily
- Group (B): (aerobic exercise group): Patients in this group will receive usual care and cycle ergometer aerobic exercise Mood of exercise: continuous aerobic exercise
- Modality of exercise: cycle ergometer with upper and lower pedaling at the same time with adducted shoulders.
- Intensity of exercise: low to moderate intensity and HR (calculated as recommended by the American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM) and tolerated up to 20-30 bpm above the resting HR), BP, SpO2 and low to moderate rate of perceived exertion through the Borg Scale (10-13) will be monitored during cycling
- Duration: 15-20 min, including 5 min warm-up, 5 min cool down and a working phase from 5-10 min
- Frequency: Daily until discharge
- Group (C): (resisted exercise group):
Patients in this group will receive usual care and resisted exercise
- Mode: Resisted exercise
- Modality: dumbbells or sandbags tied around main groups of muscles Resistance exercises consisted of muscle training with dumbbells for the upper limb (UL) (biceps, triceps, and shoulder flexors) and sandbags for the lower limb (LL) (quadriceps, hamstrings, abductors, and calves).
Intensity of exercise: the load that the patient can lift for 10-12 repetitions at RPE of 10-13 and 1-2 sets Both the aerobic exercise group and the resistance exercise group will be guided by wearable artificial intelligence ECG monitors to provide real-time support and guidance and stop exercise when adverse events occur.
- Conditions
- Coronary Artery Bypass Graft CABG
- Being tested
- aerobic exercise using cycle ergometer in addition to usual care, resisted exercise using weights and dumbbells in addition to usual care, usual care using mobilization and breathing exercise

What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Functional capacity
Functional capacity: It will be assessed by 6MWT test. According to the American Thoracic Society,
Measured: at baseline before intervention and 1 week after intervention
Secondary outcomes (7)
Heart rate variability
Assessed by AI- ECG cardiac monitor to detect variation in time between subsequent heart beats(R-R interval) at base line and before discharge
Measured: at baseline before intervention and 1 week after intervention
- Muscle strength
It will be assessed by chair stand test by patient standing /sitting with arms crossed at the wrists against the chest, the numbers of stands in 30s is recorded
Measured: at baseline before intervention and 1 week after intervention
- Kinesiophobia
It will be assessed by Tampa Scale 11 (TSK-11) 11-item, 2-factor structure best fit the data. The first factor, somatic focus, consisted of 5 items, while the second factor, activity avoidance, was comprised of 6 items
Measured: at baseline before intervention and 1 week after intervention
- Functional independence
It will be assessed by Barthel index score to ascertain the patients' abilities to perform activities of daily living
Measured: at baseline before intervention and 1 week after intervention
- Length of hospital stay
is a promising alternative for costs management and efficient consumption of hospital recourses
Measured: after 1 week of intervention
- Adherence
Adherence to the intervention was defined as completing at least 75% of the exercises and consultations
Measured: after 1 week of intervention
- Patient Safety
Patient safety ( the exercise session will be terminated if any adverse events or arrhythmia occur in patients, which leads to a change in ECG waves in the mobile screen ) eg: Atrial fibrillation causes the absence of the p-wave and a narrow QRS complex.
Measured: after 1 week of intervention

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A study of Coronary Artery Bypass Graft CABG, run by Cairo University at 1 site in Egypt.
The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.
Who may be eligible to take part?
The sponsor lists 10 inclusion and 0 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.
Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?
The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 25 Nov 2025. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 1 site in Egypt. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.
What are the possible benefits and risks?
They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.
Are results available for this study?
The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
Functional capacity (time frame: at baseline before intervention and 1 week after intervention). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
How often is this information updated?
AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 25 Nov 2025.
