What this trial studies

This study evaluates the effectiveness of the Get Back digital rehabilitation program compared to standard rehabilitation for patients undergoing surgery for lumbar spinal stenosis. The program focuses on increasing daily physical activity, managing fear and avoidance behaviors, and employing behavior change techniques tailored to individual needs. It is designed to address the common issue of post-surgery inactivity among patients, which can lead to worsened health outcomes. The trial will include multiple centers and aims to assess not only the effectiveness of the intervention but also its cost-effectiveness and the factors influencing patient outcomes.
