Michael T. Jaklitsch

Brief Summary:

This research study is evaluating the postoperative results in terms of quality of life and functional recovery of elderly patients after cancer surgery.

Condition or disease

Cancer

Intervention/treatment

Mobility Tracker

Phase

NA

Detailed Description:

This is a pilot study, designed to collect data on steps walked (ambulation) per day of lobectomy patients after surgery. While the investigators know ambulation improves outcomes after surgery, there is no institutional policy, set of patient goals, or method for deciding which patients require further resources, such as physical therapy. Data collected will be used to set up a hospital-wide strategy for patients to achieve post-operative ambulation milestones more readily.
