This single-site, non-randomized, interventional study evaluates the impact of a physical therapy consultation for patients with bladder cancer scheduled for radical cystectomy (RC). The purpose of this study is to investigate whether consultation with a physical therapist and the development of a personally tailored exercise program in the pre-cystectomy period for patients with bladder cancer will result in reduced post-operative complications, morbidity, length of inpatient stay, improve readmission 30-day and 90-day and improve 90-day mortality. This study will be partially retrospective (pre-implementation of a physical therapy consultation order) and partially prospective.

Physical Therapy in Pre-cystectomy Patients

Assessing the Impact of Physical Therapy in the Pre-cystectomy Pathway in Patients With Bladder Cancer on Patient Outcomes

Thirty-day readmission rates will be defined as the comparison of the number of hospital admission after physical therapy consultation and tailored exercises and historical hospital admission data.

The feasibility of implementing a physical therapy consultation and tailored exercise program in the pre-cystectomy treatment pathway will be determined by calculating the proportion of individuals who received a physical therapy consultation in the prospective group.

Ninety-day readmission rates will be defined as the comparison of the number of hospital admission after physical therapy consultation and tailored exercises and historical hospital admission data.

Acute care length of stay will be defined as comparing number of hospital day stay after physical therapy consultation and tailored exercises and historical hospital admission data.

Mortality rates will be defined as the comparison of the number of subjects who died after physical therapy consultation and tailored exercises and historical hospital admission data.

Post-cystectomy complication types and rates will be defined as comparison of the numbers and types of complications after physical therapy consultation with tailored exercises and historical data.
