Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This is a short term study of the effects of bariatric surgery on body composition, gait parameters during walking, lower extremity joint pain and quality of life (QOL) in morbidly obese patients who are already scheduled for a bariatric surgical procedure.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

This is a prospective, exploratory, short term study of the effects of bariatric surgery on body composition, gait parameters during walking, lower extremity joint pain and quality of life (QOL) in morbidly obese patients. All patients who enroll have already agreed to undergo the bariatric procedure with their respective surgeon; the study team will simply follow specific outcome measures in addition to their normal clinical care at two time points after the surgery (week 4 and month 3).
