Early ambulation (an activity in which a patient gets out of bed rest and performs some light body activity post-operation) and coughing considerably lowered the occurrence of skin wound separation. There is quite a possibility that the quick healing of repaired vessels and protective tissues that we see is due to the enhanced stress at the stitched place which is often caused due to intermittent pulsation. The intestines present in our body may be similarly influenced by the peristaltic movement. Renowned scientists like SALTER (1960, 1975) and LLINAS (1993), confirmed in laboratory studies that wounded joint cartilage repairs itself sooner and in a healthier way if it is subjected to alternating motion between opposing surfaces.
