Using Pedometers for the Assessment and Enhancement of Mobility in Gynaecological and Oncological Patients Following Surgery.

Study Overview
=================
Brief Summary
-----------------
This is a prospective cohort study, planned to study the effects of pedometers (digital step counters) on patient mobility following gynecology and gynecology oncology surgeries. The investigators plan to study the effect of personalized repeated feedback approach based on pedometer results in patients following gynecology and gynecology oncology surgeries.

Arms and Interventions

| Participant Group/Arm | Intervention/Treatment |
| --- | --- |
| Experimental: Experimental: Feedback<br>Patients in this arm will wear a pedometer following gynecology and gynecology oncology surgeries until discharge. During this period, they will recieve feedback regrding the number of steps taken by them at the end of each day | Device: 4 VIVOFIT-<br>* Feedback on number of steps taken by patint, as recorded by pedometers, provided by research team<br>|
| No Intervention: No Intervention: Control<br>Patients in this arm will wear a pedometer following gynecology and gynecology oncology surgeries until discharge. During this period, they will recieve no feedback regrding the number of steps taken by them. | |
