RANDOMIZED
PARALLEL
This stratified, block randomised control trial design will ensure a similar distribution of patient characteristics in the control and intervention groups and will safeguard against possible interruptions due to Covid-19.

Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
Control Group
Fitted with an accelerometer to measure time spent out of bed while in hospital. Otherwise, participants in the control group will receive usual care from the hospital medical team during their hospital stay. Daily activities of participants will not be restricted if patients are assigned to the control group.
No interventions assigned to this group
Intervention Group
Fitted with accelerometer to measure time spent out of bed while in hospital; daily goals set for time spent out of bed; mobilization feedback real-time feedback on goal attainment; hands on mobilization by physiotherapist for participants in late afternoon for participants who do not meet daily goal.
Sedentary behavior reduction intervention
Participants will be provided with a device to measure physical activity and sedentary behaviours. A tablet will be in the research office and each afternoon, it will be synced to the device to assess the activity progress of the patient. The research team will deliver an upright time goal and will target a 20% increase in upright time from the previous hospital day. Physiotherapist research assistants will visit the participants every afternoon to monitor progress and safely mobilize participants to their maximum ability if they have not met their daily goal (including weekend). The maximum level of ability will be determined in consultation with the healthcare team. Participants who do not meet their goal will be mobilized in the late afternoon/ early evening.
