Why the study?
Evidence for implementing early mobilisation after spinal procedures is limited, and formal guidelines on its optimal prescription are lacking.
Does early mobilisation improve outcomes such as length of stay, complications, and function in patients undergoing elective spinal surgery?
Does early mobilisation improve outcomes such as length of stay, complications, and function in patients undergoing elective spinal surgery?
Early mobilisation following elective spinal surgery appears to reduce length of stay and complications while improving functional outcomes, though optimal protocols remain undefined.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
Supports early mobilisation after elective spinal surgery; leaves optimal protocols open for prospective trials.
