Home exercise program using smart wearables before surgery
This trial tests a home-based exercise program using a smart wearable device to help frail older adults get stronger before major surgery. The goal is to see if this preparation can improve recovery after surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 65 years or older and feeling frail or weak.
- You are scheduled for a major surgery that is not on your heart or blood vessels.
- Your surgery is expected to take more than two hours or cause a lot of blood loss.
- You are able to use a smartphone with Bluetooth and internet and follow exercise instructions on your own.
- You have at least two weeks before surgery to take part in the program.
- You do not have serious heart or health problems that would make exercise unsafe for you.

This study tests whether a 'prehabilitation' program (tailored exercise and nutrition support before surgery) helps older patients who are frail recover better after hip or knee replacement. Participants will be randomly assigned to either the prehabilitation group or the usual care group.
This trial tests a program to help prepare adults over 65 who are having major non-cardiac surgery. It focuses on those who are frail and may need extra support before and after the operation.
This study tests a pre-surgery “exercise and health training” program for older adults who are having major surgery and are already less fit than expected. It aims to help people tolerate surgery better and reduce complications by improving fitness beforehand.
This trial tests whether a personalized exercise and wellness program before surgery helps older adults with breast cancer recover better and stay stronger. You would work with a team to prepare your body for surgery over several weeks.
This study tests whether a supervised exercise program before hernia repair surgery helps frail older adults recover better. The program includes physical exercises and breathing muscle training.
This study tests a 'prehabilitation' program — gentle exercise and health support before surgery — to see if it can help older adults feel stronger and less frail before going into a planned operation. It is for people 50+ who are a bit frail but can still walk.
