Clinical Trial Summary

This trial studies the impact of early mobility tracked with a 3-dimensional (3D) motion tracking technology (XSENS) on post-surgery recovery in patients undergoing oncologic surgeries. Xsens uses wireless measurements which could be used in clinical settings to objectively measure movement patterns (the joint range of movement and the distance of movement) during functional activities. Post-surgery mobility tracking may help doctors to identify the minimum required level of mobility after inpatient oncologic surgeries to enhance early post-surgery recovery and decrease early post-surgery complications.

Description:

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:

I. To investigate objectively using evidence based randomized controlled trial the impact of early mobility (first day after the surgery) after any inpatient oncologic procedures on early recovery of postoperative course.

II. Try to find out the minimum level of postoperative mobility that needed for early postoperative course recovery by objective assessment of range of movement for each participant using 3D motion tracking system (Xsens).

OUTLINE: Patients are randomized to 1 of 2 arms.

ARM I: Patients walk one to two laps around the ward twice per day, and have mobility tracked with Xsens over 5-10 minutes, until discharge from hospital. Patients also mobilize (walk out of the bed) on first day post-surgery under supervision and assistant of attending nurse in the floor if the clinical situation allows.

ARM II: Patients walk for minimum 30 minutes per day and mobility is tracked with Xsens over 5-10 minutes up to discharge from hospital. Patients also mobilize (walk out of the bed) on first day post-surgery under supervision and assistant of attending nurse in the floor if the clinical situation allows.

After completion of study, patients are followed up for 30 days post discharge.

Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	Changes in Mobility	changes in mobility (as measured by average velocity of pelvis) from baseline to discharge are compared between groups using a one-sided, two-sample t-test.	Baseline up to 30 days post discharge
Primary	Early Return of Bowel Motion	Days from operation to passing flatus and/or stool, treated as continuous measure	Up to 30 days after discharge
Primary	Presence or Absence of Nausea and/or Vomiting	Presence or absence of nausea and/or vomiting, treated as a binary variable	Up to 30 days after discharge
Primary	Presence or Absence of Chest Symptoms	Presence or absence of chest symptoms (cough, sputum, and ability of using incentive spirometry), treated as a binary variable	Up to 30 days after discharge
Primary	Early Discharge From the Hospital	Days from operation until hospital discharge, treated as continuous variable	Up to 30 days after discharge
Primary	Surgical Related Complications and Readmissions	Presence or absence of surgical complication (including readmission), treated as a binary variable	Up to 30 days after discharge
Secondary	Range of Joint Movement in Upper and Lower Joints of Body	Will be measured using the 3 dimensional (3D) motion tracking system (Xsens), to identify the minimum required level of mobility for better early postoperative course recovery.	Up to 30 days after discharge
Secondary	Post-surgical Complications	The complication status (present/absent) and grades will be summarized by group and compared using Fisher's exact test or the chi-square test, as appropriate.	Up to 30 days post discharge
Secondary	Change in Exercise Habits Outside of the Hospital	Post study questionnaire .	Up to 3 months post discharge
Secondary	Application of Sensors in a Hospital Setting	Adequate application of sensors, treated as a categorical variable	Up to 3 months post discharge
Secondary	Mobility Quality of Life Questionnaire	The correlation between complication status and changes in mobility may be evaluated using a post study questionnaire.	Up to 3 months post discharge
