Telerehabilitation after spine surgery

Is this trial a fit for you?

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

What this trial studies

This randomized trial compares methods of providing post-operative information after spinal decompression surgery, including telerehabilitation versus in-person instruction. It looks at recovery, pain, daily activities, and healthcare utilization in working-age and elderly patients. The study also examines whether telerehabilitation is accessible and usable for older adults and whether initiating guidance in the hospital changes recovery time. Participants are adults with a one-level spinal condition undergoing decompression surgery, recruited at Kuopio University Hospital. Interventions include telerehabilitation, nurse instructions, and hospital-based physiotherapy.
