Walking for Premature Rupture of Membranes
(STEP Trial)
What You Need to Know Before You Apply
What is the purpose of this trial?
The goal of this quasi-experimental study is to determine if there are improved outcomes for patients with preterm prelabor rupture of membranes (PPROM) who walk daily. The main question it aims to answer is:
\- Are patients with PPROM who walk at least 3500 steps per day more likely to stay pregnant longer than those who walk less?
Participants will be encouraged to walk ≥3500 steps per day from the time of diagnosis until delivery and their daily step counts will be recorded. Researchers will compare those who actually walk ≥3500 steps per day to those who walk less.
