Design outcomes

Secondary

Measure	Time frame
The secundary study parameters are: - lung function: With the help of spirometry the patients lung volume and lung capacity can be measured. The lung function will be measured during three days ones a day. - Mobility and independence: With the use of the Barthel Index score the extent of (in) dependence can be measured. The Barthel Index will be scored during three days ones a day. - Fear related to pain: The Tampa Scale for Kinesiophobia will be used to measure fear related to pain. The score on this questioning can give information about the extent of possible fear related to pain during the days after the surgery. The questioning contains 17 questions.	—

Primary

Measure	Time frame
The primary study parameter is pain. Pain can be seen as the central factor. From the literature can be concluded that when a patient experiences a lot of pain a patient will be possibly mobilised not so fast and less frequent. Pain can also lead to fear related to pain. If a patient experience a lot of pain to the chest by activity he or she will possibly develope some fear for pain to activity. Pain can lead to a diminished lung function. When a patient experience a lot of pain to the chest by breathing deeply, he or she will breath less deeply. This results in a diminished lung function. The pain intensity will be measured with the National Rating Scale.	—
