Abstract

Esophageal cancer is a highly invasive malignancy necessitating esophagectomy, which is associated with considerable postoperative morbidity and prolonged hospitalization. Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) protocols recommend early mobilization to facilitate recovery; however, objectively assessing physical activity during hospitalization remains challenging. Traditional methods, such as the 6-min walk test or patient-reported questionnaires can be burdensome, or may not accurately reflect recovery. Accelerometer-based measurement provides a low-burden, objective approach, but previous studies focused on the immediate postoperative period or long after discharge, leaving the recovery trajectory from surgery to discharge underexplored.
