Intervention | Patients randomised to the Exercise Group receive a 4 week postoperative exercise programme that begins 4 weeks after surgery. They attend the Physiotherapy Department at a local hospital for two 1-hour exercise classes per week over a period of 4 weeks. The classes involve some aerobic exercise but concentrate on exercises for strengthening and mobilising the trunk muscles such as back extension and flexion exercises. Classes are led by a physiotherapist but patients progress at their own pace. Attendance is recorded by the physiotherapist, and compliance with the exercise programme is monitored by means of weekly diary sheets kept by the patient and handed in at the end of the programme. Control group received care as usual. |
