Culture Care program for mobility after chest or belly surgery
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Injuries & trauma, Pain clinical trials.
This study tests a program called 'Culture Care' that helps patients move more after chest or belly surgery. It aims to see if the program improves how much you walk and move during your hospital stay.
