In-Bed Cycling for Post-Surgical Recovery
What You Need to Know Before You Apply
What is the purpose of this trial?
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if early mobilization using an in-bed cycling device can reduce the amount of time patients spend in bed after elective spine surgery in adults.
The main questions it aims to answer are:
Does in-bed cycling on the day after surgery reduce the amount of time patients spend in bed over the next 24 hours?
Does in-bed cycling reduce the length of hospital stay and improve participation during physiotherapy assessment?
Researchers will compare patients who receive an in-bed cycling session plus standard postoperative care to patients who receive standard postoperative care alone to see if early in-bed cycling improves mobility and recovery after spine surgery.
Participants will:
Be randomly assigned to either a standard care group or an in-bed cycling group
Wear a fitness tracker to measure activity levels and time spent in bed
Receive standard postoperative care
Complete a 30-minute in-bed cycling session on the day after surgery (intervention group only)
Be monitored for pain and vital signs during the study period
Undergo a physiotherapy assessment to evaluate mobility and participation

Active Control
Participants in this arm receive usual postoperative care following elective spine surgery plus a single supervised 30-minute in-bed cycling session on postoperative day 1. Cycling is performed using a portable ergometer in active or active-assisted mode under continuous physiological monitoring.
Participants in this arm receive usual postoperative care following elective spine surgery, including standard nursing care and routine assistance with mobilization according to institutional practice. No in-bed cycling session is performed.
