NCT ID NCT05886725

First seen May 05, 2026 · Last updated May 05, 2026

Summary

This study looks at whether measuring how fast older adults walk at home can help doctors understand their recovery after major abdominal surgery. Researchers will ask 100 participants aged 60 and older to do short walking tests using their mobile device before and after surgery. The goal is to see if this simple test can identify who might have trouble recovering, so doctors can offer extra support.
