Brief Summary

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

The proposed study will investigate the feasibility of using the Wake Forest Real-time Location System (RTLS) in monitoring patient movement during their in-hospital postoperative recovery. The study will involve patients who have undergone surgery requiring inpatient admission to the surgical ward. Actual patient movement will be monitored during their postoperative recovery and compared with data recorded by the Wake Forest location system.

In this small pilot study, a subgroup of participants will be randomized to two cohorts, continuous walking and interval walking. Tolerability of the varied walking intensity will be measured.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Continuous Ambulation

The total distance will be 40 meters. Study team members will walk, support, and coach the subject to walk as slow as he/she wants

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

Ambulation

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

Variation in ambulatory intensity.

Interval Ambulation

The subject will walk a total distance of 40 meters. This distance will be divided into four intervals of 10 meters to equal the same measured distance as the continuous group. The subject will receive two minutes of rest between each interval and will be supported and coached to walk as fast as they can.
