- This study tests a personalized walking and lower extremity strengthening program that is delivered by telephone before and after surgery.
- We think this will help older adults recover more quickly and become more active even after the study is over.
- There is a critical need to develop interventions specifically for older adults that improve quality of life and reduce complications from lung cancer surgery.
- The study, Perioperative Physical Activity in Older Adults Undergoing Lung Cancer Surgery, is part of PCORIs Healthy Aging: Optimizing Physical and Mental Functioning Across the Continuum initiative.
