What this trial studies

This study aims to evaluate the validity and reliability of the Arabic version of the De Morton Mobility Index for assessing mobility in patients who have undergone abdominal surgeries. It will involve a cross-sectional design with 106 participants aged 40 to 60 years, randomly selected from Mansoura International Hospital. Data will be collected using the De Morton Mobility Index, which consists of 15 tasks that measure various aspects of mobility. The study follows a structured translation process to ensure the accuracy of the Arabic version of the index.
