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

Comparison of the Effects of Intermittent Pneumatic Compression, Graston Technique and Percussive Therapy

The aim of this study was to compare the effects of intermittent pneumatic pressure, percussive therapy and graston after a fatigue protocol applied to the leg muscles.
