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 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 tests if using a floor pedal bike during outpatient visits helps people recover better after surgery for a broken leg or ankle. It is looking for adults who speak English or Spanish and can commit to a 12-month follow-up.
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.
This study tests whether combining a slow breathing technique (4-7-8 method) with stationary cycling can improve your blood pressure, quality of life, and shortness of breath after heart bypass surgery. It is for people who are recovering well and ready for a supervised exercise program.
