Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Adults aged 18-55 with lumbar fusion surgery for lumbar disc herniation and eligible for home-based rehab, under a single surgical team with access to home WiFi.

Probably not a fit

Patients without access to home WiFi or with contraindications to exercise may not benefit from the system.

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

The project aims to create a decision-support tool that uses evidence-based guidelines to tailor postoperative exercise programs, monitor activity, and issue risk alerts for safety. It will integrate with patients’ home WiFi to collect data and provide real-time guidance. The study will assess whether the system is feasible and whether it can increase exercise participation, reduce sedentary time, and support rehabilitation without worsening pain or fatigue.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, patients may engage more consistently in safe, structured postoperative exercise leading to better recovery.

How similar studies have gone: Previous work shows promise for decision-support tools in rehabilitation, but this exact application in osteoporotic vertebral fracture rehab is relatively novel.
