Pedal Movement - Implementing Cycling as a Mobility Option

Completed · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Ileus

In brief

Cycling has been a proven exercise for decades as a low impact option to strengthen the lower body and improve cardiovascular health. There is also evidence that cycling helps to stimulate the contraction of the muscles in the intestine. Other outcomes frequently examined when considering benefits of ambulation include decreased rates of venous thromboembolic events, pneumonia, and decreased hospital length of stays. Therefore, there is added value to consider alternate mobility modalities.
