Single-Level TLIF: Post-Fusion Rehabilitation

Completed · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Degenerative Spinal Cord Disease

In brief

This investigation will assess how the timing and type of rehabilitation after a transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion will affect the efficacy of the surgical procedure. The efficacy of the procedure will be evaluated through patients' quality of life, measured by health-related quality of life questionnaires up to 24 months following the procedure. These measures will be compared to the patients' baseline value.
