Study Summary
The overall objective of this randomized controlled study is to examine the preliminary efficacy of a physical activity intervention that includes wearable technology and remote physical therapist support in patients undergoing lumbar spine surgery. Patients will be randomized to receive 8 sessions of a telehealth physical activity intervention (n=30) or usual postoperative care (n=30). The Investigator's central hypothesis is that a postoperative telehealth physical activity intervention will lead to greater improvements in objective physical activity (primary outcome) and patient-reported physical function, disability, and pain (secondary outcomes) compared to usual care in patients undergoing lumbar spine surgery.
Primary Outcome
Post-operative physical activity will be calculated as the average steps/day over a period of 7 days as measured by accelerometer
