Background: Hypomotility of the GI tract in the absence of obstruction is the hallmark of an ileus. Postoperative ileus predictably occurs after abdominal surgery. This study was performed to improve the gastric motility after abdominal exercise. Aim: To assess the effectiveness of abdominal exercise on gastric motility among post operative patients. Design: Quasi experimental – post test only control group design. Setting: Lotus hospital and research center and Kumarasamy hospital, Erode. Participants: Thirty post operative patients were selected by using purposive sampling method among those who fulfill the sampling criteria. Methods: 15 post operative patients were experimental group and 15 were control group. Only the experimental group patients received abdominal exercise. Modified gastric motility assessment scale on gastric motility was used to assess the effectiveness of abdominal exercise. Results: From the findings of this study it can be concluded that the percentage of patients were in the age group 3044 years, 50% of patients were males and 50% of them were females, most of them were educated and majority of the patients had undergone appendicectomy. In experimental group the overall mean score of gastric motility (11.6±1.62) which was 97% whereas in control group the mean score was (7.46±1.77) which was 62%. It reveals the difference of 35%. Unpaired ‘t’ test score was 6.8 at the level of significant (P= 0.05). Highly significant difference was found between the post test scores of experimental and control group. No significant association between the demographic variables and post test scores of experimental group of post operative patients, i.e. age, gender, educational status and type of surgery. Conclusion: Abdominal exercise was highly effective in improving the gastric motility of the post operative patients. Therefore abdominal exercise can be used as a safe and effective method to improve gastric motility.
