ExperimentalEarly Bed Mobility Exercises and Ambulation Participants in this group will receive a structured physiotherapy program starting 5 hours after cesarean section. The intervention includes pelvic rolling, leg sliding, deep breathing exercises, pursed-lip breathing, chest expansion exercises, huffing and coughing techniques, ankle pumping, abdominal wall setting, and early ambulation. Exercises will be performed 3 times daily with 10-12 repetitions per session fro...Show More | Early Bed Mobility Exercises and Ambulation A structured physiotherapy program initiated 5 hours after cesarean section, including mobility and breathing exercises along with early ambulation, administered multiple times daily until discharge to improve recovery and reduce post-operative pain. |
Active ComparatorRoutine Postoperative Nursing Care Participants in this group will receive routine post-operative nursing care as per hospital protocol without any structured physiotherapy exercise program. | Routine Nursing Care Standard postoperative care provided according to hospital protocol without any additional structured physiotherapy or mobilization program. |
Primary Outcome Measures
Secondary Outcome Measures
| Outcome Measure | Measure Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
Change in Postoperative Pain Intensity | Pain intensity will be measured using the Visual Analog Scale (VAS), a continuous scale ranging from 0 (no pain) to 10 (worst imaginable pain), where higher scores indicate worse pain intensity. | Baseline (within 5 hours post-surgery) and at discharge (3-5 days post-surgery) |
Time to First Ambulation | Time to first ambulation will be defined as the time (in hours) from the end of surgery to the participant's ability to walk independently without assistance. Shorter time indicates better recovery. | Within 24-48 hours post-surgery |
| Outcome Measure | Measure Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
Change in Functional Recovery Status | Functional recovery will be assessed using the Barthel Index of Activities of Daily Living (ADL), which measures independence in activities such as sitting, standing, and walking. The scale ranges from 0 (total dependence) to 100 (complete independence), with higher scores indicating better functional recovery. | Baseline (post-surgery) and at discharge (3-5 days) |
