Abstract
Purpose: This study aimed to examine the effects of low-intensity interval training on a patient unable to walk due to generalized weakness after surgery. Methods: A patient who underwent abdominal aortic replacement surgery was included in this study. Low-intensity interval training was performed with little difficulty for 24 days using an S-bar standing frame and a walking aid. Results: With low-intensity training, the patient’s muscle strength (lower extremity) increased from F− to F+. Aerobic ability improved, and the patient was able to walk more than 90 m using a walking aid in a state where walking was not possible. Furthermore, pulmonary edema and effusion improved. Conclusion: Low-intensity interval training is useful for patients with general weakness after abdominal aortic replacement surgery.
