Clinical Trial Summary

Early mobilization (i.e. initiation of out of bed activities from the day of surgery) is considered an important component of postoperative care after colorectal surgery. Having a health professional dedicated to facilitate early mobilization has the potential to enhance postoperative recovery by preventing the negative effects of prolonged bed rest (e.g. increased risk for complications, muscle loss, deconditioning and functional decline); however, the need to implement this resource-intensive approach is not evidence based. This study aims to contribute evidence about the role of facilitated early mobilization as a strategy to enhance recovery after colorectal surgery.


Clinical Trial Description

The primary research question of this study is: to what extent does postoperative facilitation of early mobilization impact on recovery of functional walking capacity at 4 weeks after surgery in comparison to standard care (preoperative education).

The hypothesis is that, by 4 weeks after surgery, facilitated early mobilization will result in a greater proportion of participants returning to preoperative levels of functional walking, as measured by the six-minute walk test (6MWT). ;
