At-home Walking Cadence Functional Assessment and Recovery Trajectory for Older Adults Undergoing Major Surgery
Sponsor: University of Chicago
Summary
This is a prospective observational study looking at gait-cadence in older adults who are scheduled to have major abdominal surgery at the University of Chicago. The objective of the study is to evaluate whether gait-cadence, as measured from a patient's mobile device at-home, can provide an accurate assessment of a patient's functional status prior to major abdominal surgery and identify patients at risk of poor functional outcomes.
