“…Other studies using a more targeted approach offer stronger support for prehabilitation for spine surgery patients. A recent pilot study [ 29 ], for example, enrolled only high-risk patients (i.e., deconditioned patients with poor physical capacity) undergoing lumbar spinal fusion, and compared those who received preoperative functional high-intensity interval training (f-HIIT) with matched controls who received usual care. Importantly, the eight supervised f-HIIT sessions were individualized to patients’ needs and were functional and community-based so that patients could incorporate the exercises into their daily life.…”

The goal of this comprehensive review was to synthesize the recent literature on the efficacy of perioperative interventions targeting physical activity to improve pain and functional outcomes in spine surgery patients. Overall, research in this area does not yet permit definitive conclusions. Some evidence suggests that post-surgical interventions may yield more robust long-term outcomes than preoperative interventions, including large effect sizes for disability reduction, although there are no studies directly comparing these surgical approaches. Integrated treatment approaches that include psychosocial intervention components may supplement exercise programs by addressing fear avoidance behaviors that interfere with engagement in activity, thereby maximizing the short- and long-term benefits of exercise. Efforts should be made to test brief, efficient programs that maximize accessibility for surgical patients. Future work in this area should include both subjective and objective indices of physical activity as well as investigating both acute postoperative outcomes and long-term outcomes.
