Preoperative Physical Activity Improvement With the Use of Activity Trackers Before Radical Cystectomy (PreAct)

Summary

A bicentric, open-label randomised controlled trial (RCT) is planned to investigate whether the use of fitness wristbands in a defined preoperative period prior to radical cystectomy leads to a preoperative increase in participants' physical activity (number of steps per day) up to the day of radical cystectomy.

Eligibility

Inclusion Criteria:

* Planned radical cystectomy with bilateral pelvic lymphadenectomy and one of the different forms of urinary diversion (continent vs. incontinent; orthotopic vs. heterotopic) in patients with bladder cancer
* Participants age ≥ 18 years and capacity to consent
* Mobile participant who is not dependent on a walking aid
* The participant declares his or her consent to participate in this study by signing and dating the informed consent form prior to the surgical procedure

Exclusion Criteria:

* Karnofsky performance status scale ≤ 70% (with 70%: Care for self. Unable to carry on normal activity or to do active work (Ambulatory and capable of all selfcare but unable to carry out any work activities). ) (Range: 0 - 100 percent with 0 percent "participant´s death" and 100 percent "no disabilities"
* ASA Physical Status Classification: ASA \> 3 (3: A patient with severe systemic disease)
* ASA 1, 2, 3 if acute or chronic diseases of the musculoskeletal system or the central nervous system are involved that result in a symptomatic restriction of motor and / or, in the last case, neurological function (healing ruptures and fractures, Parkinson's disease, multiple sclerosis, etc.)
