The AccelERate Trial
Sponsor: NICHD Pelvic Floor Disorders Network
Summary
The AccelERate study will evaluate the physical recovery of patients who have undergone Pelvic Organ Prolapse (POP) surgery. This will be evaluated via a self-reported recovery questionnaire completed daily. Participants will wear an accelerometer device on their non-dominant wrist and be given either routine or exercise-focused postoperative instructions. The primary outcome will be a comparison of the number of days needed to reach self-reported "mostly recovered" status between randomly assigned instruction groups.

Interventions
Postoperative Exercise regimen
The intervention arm will be instructed to perform 30 minutes of medium intensity exercise (vigorous enough to cause shortness of breath, but light enough to be able to maintain a conversation) starting on postoperative day 3 and continuing at least 5 times weekly for 6 weeks. Participants in the intervention group will be allowed to select their preferred physical activity, and the activity will be performed without supervision. Participants in the control group will be given typical postoperative instructions with gradual resumption of activity.
