Condition: Abdominal Surgeries · Mobility Limitation · Mobility Difficulty · Sponsor: Cairo University
PURPOSE: To determine validity and reliability of translated Arabic version of the De Morton Mobility index for mobility assessment in patients after abdominal surgeries. BACKGROUND: Major abdominal surgery has a high morbidity and Mortality rate, and the risk of surgical complications is higher than for equivalent elective operations. those receiving emergency laparotomy are in a condition of physiological derangement driven by inflammation that has already occurred prior to surgery, in contrast to those undergoing elective abdominal operations. early mobility and exercise play an important role in postoperative treatment following abdominal surgery and are related with reduced postoperative fitness loss and fewer postoperative complications in individuals undergoing elective surgery. reduced mobility is a primary factor of lower quality of life and decreased social participation. reduced mobility is particularly common in older hospitalized patients, and it leads to an increased risk of falls, longer hospitalizations, more severe impairment and morbidity, and higher mortality rates. To manage elderly patients' mobility function, a reliable and valid mobility assessment tool is required. Performance-based examinations are commonly used to measure the mobility of elderly individuals. The De Morton Mobility Index (DEMMI) was established and validated exclusively for older patients hospitalized in the ward. The DEMMI provides clinicians and researchers with a valid interval-l…
