Summary

A study found that in 1744 patients undergoing fusion surgery for adolescent Idiopathic scoliosis, 12% had back pain remaining after recovering from surgery. Rehabilitation prior to spine surgery or prehabilitation (prehab), has been shown to reduce costs and improve functional outcomes in patients who have had total hip or total knee arthroplasties. There is a lack of literature looking at prehab in the context of spine surgeries. The purpose of this study is to see if prehab can improve patient outcomes such as decreased pain, decreased length of stay in the hospital, and improved functional outcomes in patients undergoing fusion surgery for adolescent idiopathic scoliosis.
