Summary

This study will be done to investigate the effect of arm cycling on exercise and functional capacity, arterial blood gases, pulmonary functions, diaphragmatic excursion, time to peak inspiratory amplitude, physical function, anxiety, and depression after colectomy in the elderly.

Conditions

  • Pulmonary Function
  • Colectomy
  • Colorectal Cancer
  • Post-operative Rehabilitation
  • Intensive Care Unit (ICU) Acquired Weakness (ICU - AW)
  • Arm Cycle Ergometer
  • Pulmonary Rehabilitation

Interventions

OTHER

Arm cycling exercise

The study involves a 20-minute arm cycling exercise twice daily for five days, starting with a warming-up and ending with a cooling-down. The workload is gradually increased to 60-70% of maximal heart rate, with patients sitting on a back support chair with 20 degrees backward inclination.

OTHER

The traditional physical therapy program

The patient undergoes 10 minutes of deep diaphragmatic breathing exercises, 10 minutes of spirometer training, 3-set ankle pump and heel slide exercises, 10-minute sitting on the bed edge, 5 minutes of walking in the intensive care unit, and 3-set active free range of motion exercises.
