Physical activity and exercise play an extremely important role in maintaining adequate metabolism in the postoperated patient. We recommend:
• Bed rest.
• You can go up and down stairs with help until your doctor tells you that you can do it alone.
• Use walker, crutches or cane for added security.
• Do not load objects weighing more than 5 kg.
• Perform moderate activity for the next 10 days.
• Allow rest periods.
• Resume your activities until directed by your doctor.
In the first two weeks, the patient should walk progressively twice a day depending on his tolerance.
After the second week until the sixth week, cardiovascular training can begin to develop
muscle strength and endurance in patients with poor physical condition.
