Brief summary

Goal of this study is to evaluate management with high intensity re-entrainment during the postoperative hospital phase. This type of early treatment with as little intervention time has so far never been done. The investigators therefore want to carry out this feasibility study in order to collect the data needed to calculate the number of randomized control trial. Investigators will also evaluate the feasibility of this project concerning recruitment, intervention in the hospital phase and data collection once the return home. The evaluation of the activity will be done one month after the return to home by means of a actigraphy of one week.
