OTHER_PRE_SPECIFIED outcome

Timeframe: Total steps per day will be measured at the start of the study and a week prior to testing at 6 months, and 12 months

Population: This was a self-reported data set. Patients had logs to record daily steps from pedometers for each week. Data was not reported accurately from all participants, thus data set is incomplete. Analysis cannot be completed.

Participants will be asked to wear a pedometer for 7 days at designated times in study. Total steps per day will be recorded.
