- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Presentation of expected outcome 1: difference in mobility performance through the mean values of the total number of steps from the difference of at least 1500 steps between groups. The mobility through the number of steps was evaluated after the interventions of the groups Cycloergometer and Control (institutional exercise protocol), using the pedometer for five consecutive days in the ward
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Presentation of the expected outcome 2: comparison of sociodemographic, clinical and surgical characteristics on the total number of steps in the control and experimental groups. The data analyzed are included in the datasheet prepared by the researchers;Presentation of the outcome expected 3: reduction of at least 5% in hospital stay of Cycle Ergometer group compared to the control group. Data evaluated through electronic medical record
