Brief Summary

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

This pilot study will investigate the feasibility of physical activity tracking in patients aged 4-16 years before and after elective tonsillectomy as an innovative tool in paediatric research. The participating patients will receive a wearable physical activity tracker (CE-certified) that will continuously measure the patients' physical activity before and after an elective tonsillectomy, in addition to their parents' documentation of their child's activity in a conventional diary.
