Accelerometer Measured Early Recovery After Prolapse Surgery

Recruiting now · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Pelvic Organ Prolapse, Pelvic Organ Prolapse (POP), Pelvic Organ Prolapse Vaginal Surgery, Pelvic Organ Prolapse, Patient Education

In brief

The AccelERate study will evaluate the physical recovery of patients who have undergone Pelvic Organ Prolapse (POP) surgery. This will be evaluated via a self-reported recovery questionnaire completed daily. Participants will wear an accelerometer device on their non-dominant wrist and be given either routine or exercise-focused postoperative instructions. The primary outcome will be a comparison of the number of days needed to reach self-reported "mostly recovered" status between randomly assigned instruction groups.
