Cardiorespiratory and skeletal muscle deconditioning occurs following coronary artery bypass graft surgery and hospitalization. Outpatient, phase 2 cardiac rehabilitation (CR) is designed to remediate this deconditioning but typically does not begin until several weeks following hospital discharge. Although an exercise program between discharge and the start of CR could improve functional recovery, implementation of exercise at this time is complicated by postoperative physical limitations and restrictions. Our objective was to assess the utility of neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) as an adjunct to current rehabilitative care following postsurgical discharge and prior to entry into CR on indices of physical function in patients undergoing coronary artery bypass graft surgery.

使用新型康复干预措施改善冠状动脉搭桥手术后的身体功能：随机对照试验。

冠状动脉搭桥手术和住院后会发生心肺和骨骼肌功能失调。门诊第二阶段心脏康复 (CR) 旨在补救这种失调，但通常要到出院几周后才开始。虽然出院和 CR 开始之间的锻炼计划可以改善功能恢复，但由于术后身体限制和限制，此时的锻炼实施变得复杂。我们的目的是评估神经肌肉电刺激 (NMES) 作为当前康复护理的辅助手段在术后出院后和进入 CR 之前对接受冠状动脉搭桥手术的患者的身体功能指数的效用。
