Abstract Background: With an estimated 234 million surgeries carried out each year, abdominal surgery has become a crucial component of worldwide health care. Surgery plays a part in the treatment of a wide range of illnesses and the reduction of suffering in people. While primarily focusing on physical rehabilitation, physiotherapy may have an impact on a number of the other domains. Physiotherapy aims to facilitate recovery from surgery by preventing or resolving post-operative complications and providing physical rehabilitation to assist a return to premorbid physical function.
Methods: 40 patients with abdominal surgery above 18 years, both males and females were included in the study and were divided into two groups i.e. group A and group B. Group A were on physiotherapeutic intervention along with breathing exercises and group B were on only breathing exercises. All the patients evaluated for pain and exertion before and after the treatment. The duration of intervention was of 2 months with therapy session per week for 30-40 minutes for weeks.
Results: The finding of present study shows statistical significant improvement in score of VAS in both groups and in score of BORG only in intervention group whereas control group showed no statistical significant improvement in score of BORG in control group.
Conclusion: It is concluded that breathing exercise along with physiotherapeutic intervention is more effective than only breathing exercise, indicating the improvement in the intensity of pain and level of exertion at the end of treatment session.
Keywords Deep breathing exercises, BORG, early mobilization, VAS, postoperative pain, level of exertion.
