Abstract
Background: Cystectomy and ileal neobladder are
standard procedures in bladder cancer treatment.
Regaining mobility quickly after surgery, however, is
aggravated by the facts that median laparotomy is
used to access the abdomen, and that there are
severe tissue violations during surgery. These result in
post-operative movement-related pain and in
restrictions of functional mobility. Movement patterns,
which were self-evident before surgery, cause severe
pain or even cannot be performed. Motor exercise with
urological patients, before they undergo surgery,
seems to be helpful to overcome such restrictions
faster. Thus, regeneration could be supported.
Methods: We planned a randomised controlled trial to
study the effects of patient education based on the
Viv-Arte conception, a kinesthetic mobilisation
framework. In addition, we designed a new mobility
test (MOTPA Mobility Test for Patients in Acute Care)
for subtle discrimination of the regeneration progress.
The target group included patients scheduled for
cystectomy in an intensive care setting. The primary
outcomes were functional mobility (MOTPA), pain
(visual analog scale) and post-surgical hospital
residence time (intensive and general care units).
Conclusions: Preliminary results show that the study
design and the test are feasible. In-depth data analysis
is to be published. Expanding the field of application of
both training and test is to be discussed.

Background
Following cystectomy, the ileal neobladder is a
standard reconstruction procedure for urinary
diversion. There is a broad literature base on surgical
and medical developments [1, 2] and also a

Methods
Setting, design and sample of the trial
The study was designed as a prospective,
interventional, single-centre, randomised controlled
trial. It was conducted in the intensive care and
general care units of the department of urology and
child urology of the university hospital Ulm, Germany.
In the field of urology, medial laparotomy is performed
during cystectomy operations. Therefore, patients who
were scheduled for cystectomy were enrolled.
Inclusion criteria were
Cystectomy scheduled (ICD5-576)
Age 18 years or above
Ability to understand written and spoken German
Written informed consent
Patients meeting one of the following criteria were
excluded from the trial:
Impaired mobility (functional degree 2 or above,
according to [35]: dependent on personal assistance,
supervision or guidance)
Chronic pain (duration above 3 months, with
pharmacological treatment)
Dementia, medically documented
Anamnesis includes medial incision
The target number of patients was set as 30. This
number was thought to be high enough to judge on the
feasibility of the design and the new mobility test, and
to calculate effect sizes for a power calculation of a
later main trial. On the other hand, it is small enough
to avoid unnecessary demands on patients and
resources in case the design is not feasible or the
intervention has no effect.
The study was registered at Current Controlled Trials
(www.controlled-trials.com) and received the
International Standard Randomised Controlled Trial
Number ISRCTN32898285.
Types and procedures of data collection
Primary outcome measures
The primary outcomes were functional mobility, pain
and post-operative length of stay. Functional mobility
was tested using MOTPA, as described in the
corresponding subsection in section Background. The
mobility profile was once recorded before surgery,
semi-daily after surgery in intensive care unit (once in
the morning and once in the afternoon) and daily after
the transfer to the standard care unit (around noon).
Pain was assessed through Visual Analog Scale
(VAS), before, during, directly after, and 10 minutes
after mobilisation and execution of MOTPA. The
Visual Analog Scale is a reliable and valid tool which

The trial was funded by Robert-Bosch Foundation,
Stuttgart, Germany (32.5.1331.0041.0). Institutional
partners were the Hessian Institute of Nursing
Research (Hessisches Institut fr Pflegeforschung),
Frankfurt, Germany, the University Hospital Ulm,
Germany, and the Institute of Sport Science and Sport,
University Bonn, Germany (now: Institute of Sport
Gerontology, German Sport University Cologne,

The authors owe a lot to the medical and the nursing
staff of the hospital units involved. They helped to
carry out the trial and also gave feedback in numerous
formal and in-between discussions. The participating
patients were ready to be part of the study though
suffering from extreme health problems. Thank you.

Authors
Hunts authorship scoring system, published in Nature
[40], was used to describe the contributions and to
determine sequence of authors.
In the planning, designing, and interpreting category
EMP, AME, JH and MB scored highest. EK, JH and
EB captured and processed data, and were in charge
of all procedures. Specialist input came from MB
(human movement science) and HBM (Viv-Arte
conception). Together with AD and EK they developed
the new mobility test. All authors contributed to and
take full responsibility of the manuscript.
