Early Mobilization Following Elective Spine Surgery: Trial of In-bed Cycling

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if early mobilization using an in-bed cycling device can reduce the amount of time patients spend in bed after elective spine surgery in adults.

The main questions it aims to answer are:

Does in-bed cycling on the day after surgery reduce the amount of time patients spend in bed over the next 24 hours?

Does in-bed cycling reduce the length of hospital stay and improve participation during physiotherapy assessment?

Researchers will compare patients who receive an in-bed cycling session plus standard postoperative care to patients who receive standard postoperative care alone to see if early in-bed cycling improves mobility and recovery after spine surgery.

Participants will:

Be randomly assigned to either a standard care group or an in-bed cycling group

Wear a fitness tracker to measure activity levels and time spent in bed

Receive standard postoperative care

Complete a 30-minute in-bed cycling session on the day after surgery (intervention group only)

Be monitored for pain and vital signs during the study period

Undergo a physiotherapy assessment to evaluate mobility and participation
