First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests whether using a walking platform every day after cancer surgery helps patients aged 65 and older regain their normal walking speed by the time they leave the hospital. Sixty participants will do short walking sessions starting the day after surgery. The goal is to see if this simple exercise can speed up recovery.

What this could lead to
If it works, this could help elderly patients regain their walking ability faster after cancer surgery, reducing hospital stays and improving recovery.
