Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
Neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) is commonly used in physical therapy to increase muscle strength and promote muscle hypertrophy.
There is increased flow of patients after heart surgery in kasr Aini hospital who suffers from respiratory complication due to phrenic nerve injury so the hospitalization period of them increased which make economic burden in health insurance services with decreased level of quality of life that is the most concern as to improve patient status and relief this burden. So this study aims to decrease respiratory complication and improve phrenic nerve regeneration by using neuromuscular electrical stimulation as a safe, noninvasive , inexpensive and virtually risk free method.

Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
Transcutaneous electrical diaphragmatic stimulation intervention and traditional physiotherapy group
This group will receive transcutaneous electrical diaphragmatic stimulation intervention and traditional physiotherapy three times per week for 4 weeks
Transcutaneous electrical diaphragmatic stimulation intervention
It will be applied on diaphragm, 30 min per session ,3 days/week for 4 weeks at a stimulation frequency of 30 Hz, pulse width of 400 μs, the intensity was gradually increased until visible muscle contraction was observed.
traditional physiotherapy program
The participants will receive traditional physiotherapy ( postural drainage, percussion , diaphragmatic breathing, phase 1 cardiac Rehabilitation and balance training ) three times per week for 4 weeks
Traditional physiotherapy group
This group will receive traditional physiotherapy only, three times per week for 4 weeks
traditional physiotherapy program
The participants will receive traditional physiotherapy ( postural drainage, percussion , diaphragmatic breathing, phase 1 cardiac Rehabilitation and balance training ) three times per week for 4 weeks
