Brief summary
A laparotomy is a surgical technique, the increasing rate of this surgical interventions and the subsequent need to evaluate the post-surgical recovery and rehabilitation process comprehensively. This study aims to provide essential insights into the reliability, validity, and responsiveness of such tests, enabling healthcare professionals to make informed decisions about patient recovery progress and the optimization of rehabilitation protocols.
Detailed description
The significance of this research lies in its potential to enhance the quality of care and patient outcomes, reduce healthcare costs, and contribute to evidence-based decision-making in postsurgical rehabilitation, ultimately improving the overall well-being of surgical patients. This study is to evaluate the clinimetric properties of four distinct tools designed for assessing performance-based functional outcomes following open abdominal surgery. 6 Minute Walk Test (6MWT), 5 Times Sit to Stand test (5T STS), 2 minute Walk test (2MWT), and Timed Up and GO (TUG)will be assessed to determine any changes in their functionality and overall well-being on day 2 and on day of discharge.
Interventions
OTHERStandardised Physiotherapy Plan
Single session of coached deep breathing and coughing exercises. 10 supervised slow flow deep breaths to total lung capacity with a 3-5 second end inspiratory hold completed with 2 end inspiratory sniffs. 2-3 supported coughs or huffs. Repeated for another set. Patients instructed to perform independently hourly. Assisted ambulation according to the following protocol: * Stage 1 of 2 minutes. * Stage 2 of 0-1 minute. * Stage 3 of 1 - 3 minutes. * Stage 4 of 3 - 6 minutes. * Stage 5 of 6 - 10 minutes. * Stage 6 of 10 - 15 minutes. * Stage 7 \> 15 minutes. Total session time is the accumulative work time.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| 6MWT (Six-Minute Walk Test) | 1 week | A submaximal exercise test called the 6MWT is used to measure aerobic capacity and endurance. This test's main goal is for the patient to walk as far as they can in six minutes. 6MWT (Six-Minute Walk Test) A submaximal exercise test called the 6MWT is used to measure aerobic capacity and endurance. The distance (measured in meters) traveled during the six minutes allotted for the test determines the score. |
| 5 Times Sit to Stand | 1 week | The test can be used to track the course of an illness or the effectiveness of a therapeutic intervention in addition to providing useful information about a person's functional ability. The distance (measured in meters) traveled during the six minutes allotted for the test determines the score. Greater aerobic endurance and functional capacity are indicated by a longer distance |
| 2MWT (Two-Minute Walk Test) | 1 week | The 2MWT is a functional exercise test designed to evaluate an individual's aerobic capacity and endurance over a shorter duration compared to the 6MWT. |
| Timed Up and GO (TUG) | 1 week | . It is designed to assess an individual's mobility and requires the participant to stand up from a seated position, walk a distance of three meters, turn around, walk back to the chair, and sit down. |
