Participant Flow

This randomized controlled trial enrolled patients who were going to undergo gynecologic surgery were enrolled from 1/11-6/11 at Loyola University Medical Center .We approached adult (\>18 years) English speaking women prior to undergoing major gynecologic surgery who were expected to have at least a 24-hour hospital stay post-operatively.

All Enrolled patients were randomized to a group. Those patients who were enrolled but not included in statistical analysis had their data lost due to lost pedometer.
