Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (1)
Change in physical activity as measured by accelerometer data
Continuous measurement beginning 1 week before surgery (when the accelerometer is placed on the wrist) and ending 2 weeks after (when the accelerometer is removed from the wrist)
Study Arms (1)
Accelerometer Participants
EXPERIMENTALAll participants receive an accelerometer to wear around their wrist to measure physical activity continuously beginning 1 week before surgery (when the accelerometer is put on the wrist) and ending 2 weeks after surgery (when the accelerometer is removed from the wrist).
Interventions
All participants receive a wrist worn accelerometer to measure physical activity continuously before and after surgery
Eligibility Criteria
You may qualify if:
- Children ages 3-18 undergoing elective surgery with anticipated overnight hospitalization of at least one day
You may not qualify if:
- Any children who are non-ambulatory, have any pre-existing mobility limitations, or have a doctor-ordered physical activity limit \>48 hours post surgery. Also, patients with surgery scheduled less than 7 days out as protocol calls for the accelerometer to be worn for 7 days pre-surgery
