Effects of early activity intervention on intestinal motility recovery in patients after colorectal cancer surgery

Figure 2 Comparison of abdominal distension scores between groups after colorectal cancer surgery. This figure illustrates that patients receiving early activity intervention (experimental group) consistently demonstrated lower abdominal distension scores compared to the control group at all postoperative time points (24 hours, 48 hours, and 72 hours), with statistically significant differences (^aP < 0.05). Both groups showed a progressive decrease in abdominal distension over time, but the experimental group experienced more rapid improvement, confirming the beneficial effects of early activity intervention on postoperative recovery after colorectal cancer surgery.
