Post-Operative Ambulatory Challenge and Exercise (PACE) Trial

This is a pilot study, designed to collect data on steps walked (ambulation) per day of
lobectomy patients after surgery. While the investigators know ambulation improves outcomes
after surgery, there is no institutional policy, set of patient goals, or method for deciding
which patients require further resources, such as physical therapy. Data collected will be
used to set up a hospital-wide strategy for patients to achieve post-operative ambulation
milestones more readily.
