Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The purpose of this study is to determine the effects of physical training program to improve deep stabilizer muscle in colorectal cancer survivors

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Background: Colorectal cancer is the third most common cancer when considering both genders. Musculoskeletal alterations have been described related to techniques used during surgery, that it produces an inhibition of deep abdominal muscles. These muscles are in charge of lumbopelvic stabilization muscle linked to reduced ability to maintain independence in daily activity life that could have affected their quality of life

Objective: The aim objective will be evaluated short and long-term effects of physical activity program for muscle stabilization.

Methods: 20 colorectal cancer survivors will be recruited from the Department of Oncology of ClĂ­nico San Cecilio Hospital. Patients will be randomized in physical activity program group and usual care group. Physical activity groups will receive an eight week program form improve the muscle stabilization.

Discussion: Researchers attempts to increase the fitness level and reduce musculoskeletal disorders in colorectal cancer survivors through a physical activity interventions focusing in muscle stabilization.

core stability

Stabilized muscle program will consist of two months of individual physical training that it will be conducted 3 times/week for 90 min each. A correct progression to improve stabilization of deep abdominal muscles will be made.
