About this study

Official title: Does Increased Mobility Assessed With 3D Motion Tracking Technology Lead to Early Post-Operative Recovery Among Patients Undergoing Oncologic Surgeries

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.

Read the detailed description

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:

  1. 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.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. 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.

    Measured: Baseline up to 30 days post discharge

  2. Early Return of Bowel Motion

    Days from operation to passing flatus and/or stool, treated as continuous measure

    Measured: Up to 30 days after discharge

  3. Presence or Absence of Nausea and/or Vomiting

    Presence or absence of nausea and/or vomiting, treated as a binary variable

    Measured: Up to 30 days after discharge

  4. 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

    Measured: Up to 30 days after discharge

  5. Early Discharge From the Hospital

    Days from operation until hospital discharge, treated as continuous variable

    Measured: Up to 30 days after discharge

  6. Surgical Related Complications and Readmissions

    Presence or absence of surgical complication (including readmission), treated as a binary variable

    Measured: Up to 30 days after discharge

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. 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.

    Measured: Up to 30 days after discharge

  2. 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.

    Measured: Up to 30 days post discharge

  3. Change in Exercise Habits Outside of the Hospital

    Post study questionnaire .

    Measured: Up to 3 months post discharge

  4. Application of Sensors in a Hospital Setting

    Adequate application of sensors, treated as a categorical variable

    Measured: Up to 3 months post discharge

  5. Mobility Quality of Life Questionnaire

    The correlation between complication status and changes in mobility may be evaluated using a post study questionnaire.

    Measured: Up to 3 months post discharge

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Best Practice, Physical Activity and Questionnaire Administration in people with Malignant Neoplasm, run by Roswell Park Cancer Institute at 1 site in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 5 inclusion and 7 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 22 Jul 2022. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Changes in Mobility (time frame: Baseline up to 30 days post discharge). The study lists 6 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?
