The Effectiveness of Physical Exercise After Lumbar Fusion Surgery: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis

The Impact of Preoperative Adaptive Training on Postoperative Outcomes in Lumbar Spine Fusion Surgery for Lumbar Disc Herniation: A Retrospective Analysis

“…[31][32][33][34][35][36][37][38][39][40][41] For instance, one meta-analysis revealed that cognitive therapy, when added to exercise programs, yields better outcomes in lumbar fusion surgery compared to exercise alone, particularly in terms of long-term disability and kinesiophobia. 42 Another study highlighted the effectiveness of exercise training on physical function, bodily pain, and social function, demonstrating moderate-degree evidence of its efficacy in improving quality of life parameters postlumbar decompression surgery. 43 These insights indicate the importance of a holistic approach to spinal surgery recovery, where preoperative adaptive training is just one component of a multifaceted rehabilitation strategy.…”
