This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
After spine surgery, getting moving early can help you heal faster and avoid complications like pneumonia or blood clots. This study is testing whether doing a simple leg cycling exercise in bed on the day after surgery — using a portable pedal machine while you're still resting — helps you spend less time lying down and recover better than standard care alone.
Many spine surgery patients stay in bed too long after their operation because they're worried about moving or because there aren't enough physical therapists available right away. Doctors know that early movement is safe and helps prevent serious problems, so this study is testing a new way to get patients moving gently and safely on the very first day after surgery, before traditional therapy begins.

If you join the study, you'll be randomly assigned to either receive your usual care after surgery, or usual care plus a single 30-minute guided leg cycling session in bed on your first day after surgery. If you're in the cycling group, a physiotherapist will supervise your session while you're monitored for safety. The study will track how much time you spend in bed during your hospital stay and measure your recovery progress.
