Activity Monitor Feedback and Interactive Tours to Improve Postoperative Ambulation
Status unconfirmed · Not applicable
Conditions studied: Surgery
In brief
This is a randomized controlled trial that compares a system using activity monitors to provide real-time feedback on daily ambulation to patients undergoing major surgeries, paired with step-count-measured art tours of the surgical units, versus standard of care, on step count. The hypothesis is that the feedback system + art tours will encourage patients to ambulate more.
