Cohort study reveals dynamic balance via the timed up and go test determines daily living satisfaction after adult spinal deformity surgery, indicating mobility speed drives functional recovery.

Key Points

To determine the key factors influencing gait, postural balance, and activities of daily living satisfaction in patients one year after corrective surgery for adult spinal deformity.
Analyzed a cohort of 42 patients (2 men, 40 women; mean age 71.1 years) undergoing adult spinal deformity corrective surgery.
Stratified patients into satisfied (n=18) and unsatisfied (n=24) cohorts using the Oswestry Disability Index at 12-month follow-up.
Evaluated spinopelvic parameters (lumbar lordosis, pelvic tilt, sagittal vertical axis, pelvic incidence) alongside functional physical performance tests (single-leg stance, 10-meter walk velocity, Timed Up and Go test).
Satisfied patients demonstrated superior Timed Up and Go performance (8.5 s vs. 12.8 s), faster 10-meter walk velocity (1.26 m/s vs. 1.01 m/s), and longer single-leg standing balance (25 s vs. 12.8 s) compared to unsatisfied patients at one year.
Multivariable logistic regression identified the Timed Up and Go test as the only significant factor determining satisfaction with activities of daily living.
The optimal Timed Up and Go cut-off value for daily living satisfaction was 9.7 seconds, with 75% sensitivity, 83% specificity, an area under the curve of 0.824, and a 95% confidence interval of 0.695–0.953.
