Abstract
Background: Ambulation is the ability to do things independently with or without assistive devices. Early ambulation is one of the most crucial things patient can do after surgery to prevent post-operative complications like hemostatic pneumonia, post-operative fever, wound infection, venous stasis, constipation. Post-surgical ambulation provides large benefits for all patients such as promotes blood flow, stimulates circulation, quicker wound healing, increases muscle tone and strength and improves patient feeling of independence, mood and self-esteem.
