Physical function was assessed the day before surgery using Six-minute Walk test for functional capacity and 30-second chair stand test for lower body strength. Recovery was evaluated during the week after discharge by measuring daily physical activity, including daily steps, brisk walking, sedentary time, and sit-to-stand transitions, using an accelerometer (activPAL3 micro activity monitor). Multiple regression analysis was performed to evaluate the association, adjusting for age, sex, and American Society of Anaesthesiologists score.\nResults\nAnalysis included 73 participants with valid measurements for both physical function and recovery. A significant positive association was observed between functional capacity and daily steps, with a 100-meter increase in walking distance associated with approximately 600 additional steps per day (95% CI: 0.53-11.29). The association between functional capacity and sit-to-stand transitions approached significance (\u03b2 = 0.05; 95% CI: -0.001-0.09). No significant associations were observed between physical function and brisk walking or sedentary time, nor between lower body strength and any recovery outcomes.\nConclusions\nHigher functional capacity is associated with higher recovery levels, as measured by physical activity after hospital discharge using activity monitors. The findings indicate that interventions aimed at improving physical function before robot-assisted radical cystectomy may enhance recovery.\nKeywords: Abdominal surgery, activity monitor, cancer rehabilitation, physiotherapy, recovery.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.2340\/sju.v60.43992","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,7,27]],"date-time":"2025-07-27T08:44:19Z","timestamp":1753605859000},"page":"135-140","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Association between physical function before radical cystectomy for urinary bladder cancer and recovery after discharge from hospital"],"prefix":"10.2340","volume":"60","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0009-5527-7860","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Simon","family":"Torikka Suua","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-9144-7905","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Andrea","family":"Porserud","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-6731-8468","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Malin","family":"Nygren-Bonnier","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-4607-8677","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Maria","family":"Hagstr\u00f6mer","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1183","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,7,27]]},"reference":[{"key":"119116","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Ull\u00e9n A, Aljabery F, Dahlman P, et al.
