Abstract
Objective
To assess the effectiveness of early bedside cycling training in enhancing recovery among patients following liver transplantation.
Methods
A total of 64 patients who underwent liver transplantation were randomly assigned to either an experimental group or a control group, with 32 patients in each group. Patients in the control group received routine rehabilitation training after postoperative consciousness recovery and tracheal extubation. The experimental group received supplemental lower limb bedside cycling training in addition to the routine rehabilitation. Differences in physical function, length of intensive care unit, and hospital stays were compared between the two groups.
Results
The experimental group showed significantly greater improvements in physical function, such as activities of daily living scores and Berg Balance Scale scores, compared to the control group (P < .05). While the experimental group also exhibited decreased length of intensive care unit and hospital stays compared to the control group, these differences lacked statistical significance.
Conclusion
Early bedside cycling training contributes to enhanced physical function, such as balance function and activities of daily living, among patients undergoing liver transplantation.
期刊介绍:
Transplantation Proceedings publishes several different categories of manuscripts, all of which undergo extensive peer review by recognized authorities in the field prior to their acceptance for publication.
The first type of manuscripts consists of sets of papers providing an in-depth expression of the current state of the art in various rapidly developing components of world transplantation biology and medicine. These manuscripts emanate from congresses of the affiliated transplantation societies, from Symposia sponsored by the Societies, as well as special Conferences and Workshops covering related topics.
Transplantation Proceedings also publishes several special sections including publication of Clinical Transplantation Proceedings, being rapid original contributions of preclinical and clinical experiences. These manuscripts undergo review by members of the Editorial Board.
Original basic or clinical science articles, clinical trials and case studies can be submitted to the journal?s open access companion title Transplantation Reports.
