Clinical Trial Summary

The study will be conducted in a pediatric surgery ward, department of pediatrics. Children between the ages of 5 to 17 years who underwent for abdominal surgery will be recruited by simple random sampling. Parents of all the potential participants will receive a written explanation of the trial and given written informed consent forms to be signed prior to their child being involved in the trial. Pre- op physiotherapy education is given to one experimental group and after surgery post operative treatment is given to both the experimental groups. spirometery, 6 minute walk test, 10 meter walk test, Timed up and go test and Nine star stair climbing test will be used for data collection.
