OASIS Trial Design

3Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Active Control
Group I: Intervention GroupExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
Participants are prescribed a walking prescription based on their baseline daily step count. During the interim between the day of consultation until the day of surgery, a study staff member will make weekly calls to each participant. Participants will also log all of their physical activities including the date, activity type, and number of minutes.
Group II: Observation GroupActive Control1 Intervention
Participants who are not frail will receive usual care prior to surgery and charts will be reviewed for outcomes following surgery.
Group III: Control GroupActive Control1 Intervention
Participants receive usual care prior to surgery. Participants will also log all of their physical activities including the date, activity type, and number of minutes.
