Study Summary
The purpose of this study is to use functional studies to study the effectiveness of prehabilitation prior to surgery. The investigators know that stronger patients have better outcomes after surgery compared to weaker patients. This study will help the study team determine if prehabilitation can make patients stronger prior to surgery. It is hoped by learning more about frailty and prehabilitation strategies may be developed to minimize or prevent complications in the future. Participants are being asked to participate in this study because they are going to have a pancreatic procedure.
Primary Outcome
Participant's grip strength will be measured before and after intervention with a Jamar Dynamometer as follows: 1. Hold both arms at 90-degree angles with the arms held close to the body 2. Perform isometric contraction for 5 seconds and measure the pressure generated from this 3. Both handgrips will be measured three times each and averaged. The greater of the two averages will be recorded
