Treatment and study plan

Six minutes stepper test (6MST)

Diagnostic Test

The 6MST is done using a stepper (Stepper essential, Decathlon(TM), France), with a walking height of 20 cm, placed in front of a wall or parallel bars, so patients can hold on if necessary.

Patients are instructed to make the maximum number of steps possible in 6 minutes, and are given a time check at one minute intervals.

Sit to stand test (STST)

Diagnostic Test

The STST is done using a chair measuring 47 cm in height. The patient are instructed to sit in the chair and then to do the maximum number of lifts possible from the chair, in 1 minute, with arms folded and without leaning against the chair.

Primary outcomes

  1. occurrence of a post-operative complication grade ≥ 2 on the Clavien-Dindo scale within three months after surgery
