Summary

This study looked at whether Clinical Pilates exercises can help people who have had coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) overcome kinesiophobia — a fear of movement that can slow recovery. 36 patients who were stable after surgery and had kinesiophobia took part. They did 30-minute Pilates sessions alongside standard cardiac rehab. The goal was to see if this approach could reduce fear, improve heart and lung function, and boost mobility.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
Clinical Pilates exercises
What this could lead to
If it works, this could offer a gentle exercise option to help heart surgery patients overcome fear of movement and recover faster.
What could go wrong
This is a small, completed study with only 36 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The exercises are not a replacement for standard cardiac rehab.
