Abstract
Background: Patients in cardiac rehabilitation are typically advised to complete a period of maintenance phase. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of aerobic training on selected cardiopulmonary parameters in myocardial infarction patients with stroke. Methodology: Forty patients of both sexes (31 men and 9 women) with age 40-50 years with chronic myocardial infarction with stroke after 6 months participated in the study selected from out-patient clinic of Physical Therapy Center, Modern University for Technology and Information. Patients were assigned into two groups equal in number: group (A) received aerobic training (treadmill training) and traditional physical therapy program (relaxation technique, facilitatory technique, stretching exercise to prevent shortening, proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation and trunk control training) and group (B) which received traditional physical therapy program. Patients were assessed pre and post treatment using through Stress exercise test unit (Modified Bruce protocol) and modified ashwarth scale. Results: This study revealed that there is significant improvement in resting heart rate ({u2191} 10.10%), maximum heart rate ({u2191} 4.67%), METs ({u2191} 64.95%), maximum systolic blood pressure ({u2191} 4.45%), maximum diastolic blood pressure ({u2191} 9.45%) and VO2 max ({u2191} 35.36%) variables in group (A) treated by aerobic training than those of traditional physical therapy program only. Conclusion: Aerobic training was an energy-generating process in management of myocardial infarction patients with stroke
