Interventions

  • Preoperative Resistance Exercise — BEHAVIORAL
    Participants will have been deemed to be medically safe to participate in exercise-based physical therapy based on their physician recommendation and may also undergo an in-person evaluation by a licensed physical therapist to evaluate their physical capacity. This will inform the frequency and intensity of exercise prescription according to a participant's identified physical impairments and activity tolerance levels. Based on this information, an exercise program will be implemented either via web-based HIPAA compliant platforms (e.g. Zoom or WebEx) or in the clinic(e.g if the participant does not have internet access) on a 1-2x/week basis for the 4-6 week pre-operative duration. Each exercise session will be approximately 30 minutes. During these sessions, exercises including gravity-assisted, body-weighted, or body-weight-augmented resistance exercises targeting the paraspinal extensor muscles (multifidus, erector spinae, latissimus dorsi, lower trapezius) will be performed at a mo

Study Details

The purpose of this research study is to gather more information about how improving back muscle function before surgery might influence what happens to the spine and function after surgery. This may assist in developing ways to improve surgical outcomes and determine the benefit of pre-operative exercise, if any.
