About this trial
In this study, researchers aimed to investigate effects of neurophysiological facilitation on functional capacity and respiratory parameters of patients who underwent open heart surgery.
Do neurophysiological facilitation techniques improve individuals' respiratory parameters more than phase 1 cardiac rehabilitation?
Do neurophysiological facilitation techniques improve individuals' functional capacity more than phase 1 cardiac rehabilitation?
Researchers will apply phase 1 cardiac rehabilitation to both groups to see the effectiveness of neurophysiological facilitation techniques.
