  • inability to exercise the lower limbs,
  • subjects with forced expiratory volume in 1 second less than 70% of predicted

Treatment and study plan

Combination of four techniques of physiotherapy

Other

The patients receive conventional physiotherapy, expiratory positive airway pressure, inspiratory muscle training and physical exercise. Twice daily for seven days

Combination of three techniques of physiotherapy

Other

Patients receive conventional physiotherapy, expiratory positive airway pressure and physical exercise. Twice daily for seven days

Combination of two techniques of physiotherapy

Other

Patients receive conventional physiotherapy,expiratory positive airway pressure respiratory muscle training. Twice daily for seven days

Standard therapy

Other

Patients receive conventional physiotherapy and expiratory positive airway pressure. Twice daily for seven days

Primary outcomes

  1. submaximal functional capacity

    Time frame: Change from Baseline in functional capacity at seven days and thirty days after surgery

    functional capacity evaluated by six-minute walk test

Secondary outcomes

  1. capacity functional

    Time frame: evaluated 40 days after surgery

    cardiopulmonary exercise testing ( VO2)

  2. respiratory muscle strength

    Time frame: Change from Baseline in respiratory muscle strength at seven days and thirty days after surgery

    Both PImax and PEmax were obtained using a pressure transducer

  3. lung function

    Time frame: Change from Baseline in lung function at seven days and thirty days after surgery

    assessed by spirometry (FVC and FEV1)
