Position change and back massage group
Early ambulation
The patients received changing of position every two hours as follows in the same order: supine position with a head angle of 15°, semi-fowler position with a head angle of 30°, lateral right or left position with a head angle of 15°. Also, the patients received a simple stroke of lower back massage for 5 minutes every 2 hours
The patient are allowed to ambulate after 3 hours of complete bed rest in the supine position with a zero head of bed elevation angle.
