Early biking in bed after spine surgery
Part of Mental health clinical trials.
This study tests whether a short session of pedaling a special bike while lying in bed, soon after spine surgery, can help you recover faster. It's for people who could walk before surgery and are stable after the operation.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You had planned spine surgery (like a decompression or fusion) and are on the same day back from the operating room.
- You could walk by yourself before surgery (no help from others or a wheelchair).
- You went directly from the operating room to a regular hospital room (not the ICU).
- Your blood pressure, heart rate, and oxygen levels are stable after surgery.
- You do not have any leg problems that would prevent you from pedaling a bike in bed.

This trial tests if starting leg cycling exercise within the first week after spinal cord injury is safe and helpful. It is for adults who had surgery within 48 hours of their injury and have a specific level of paralysis.
This trial tests whether starting cycling exercises soon after a spinal cord injury helps patients recover better. It is for adults who can move some muscles against gravity and have had spine surgery within two days of their injury.
This trial is testing the use of a floor pedal bike (like a small stationary bike you use while sitting) as part of recovery after surgery for certain leg fractures. It aims to see if using this bike can help you regain strength and movement more easily.
This study tests if regular arm and leg cycling exercises can help people with incomplete spinal cord injuries walk faster and recover more. You must be at least one year post-injury and able to walk a short distance with assistance.
This trial studies whether doing back exercises before spine surgery helps improve recovery. If you are having spine surgery and can safely do physical therapy, you may be able to join.
This trial tests whether brief “interval” bed-cycling changes how well your leg muscles use oxygen compared with steady cycling. It’s meant for carefully selected ICU patients who can safely do active cycling while on ventilator support.
