An intestinal stoma is a surgically created artificial opening in the abdominal wall that helps the large or small intestine end to divert the faecal matter for stoma patients with an underlying condition of inflammatory bowel disease and colorectal cancer. When a stoma is formed following surgery, one of the difficulties stoma patients confront has been identified as prolonged immobilization, which can eventually result in muscle inactivity that results due to their illness. Patients with stoma often experience an increase in pain and a decrease in quality of life. Patients can be mobilized and their muscles can be activated with the help of an early intervention called specific mobility exercises.
