Abstract focus
These findings highlight the positive effects of a trimodal prehabilitation program on patients’ physical activity levels and functional walking capacity and demonstrate that modifying exercise behaviors and improving physical function within the 4-week preoperative period are an achievable goal.
Context from Dr. Gutman’s comments
Dr. Carli’s team fed Immunocal to patients preparing for bowel cancer surgery, and showed that this prehabilitation improved their physical performance and physical activity levels afterwards.
