For patients with lumbar spondylosis, whether they can recover completely after surgery, postoperative functional recovery exercise is especially important! The correct exercise method can effectively prevent nerve root adhesions, promote blood circulation of the body and improve the resistance of the body. Exercise purpose: Postoperative lumbar back muscle functional exercise can strengthen the stability of the lumbar spine, reduce postoperative complications and improve the efficacy of surgical treatment. Lu Shibao, Department of Orthopedics, Xuanwu Hospital, Capital Medical University Exercise method: 1. “Five-point support” method: the patient adopts a supine position, using five points (head, elbows, heels) as the fulcrum, lifting the hips out of the bed as far as possible and hanging the lumbar back as far as possible to achieve the purpose of exercising the lumbar back muscles (see Figure 1), this method is simple and easy to learn and can be used for This method is simple and easy to learn, and can be used in the early postoperative period, usually 3-5 days after surgery can begin to exercise. 2. “Three point support” method: supine position, upper limbs placed in front of the chest, using three points (head, heel) as a fulcrum, the waist and back as far back as possible, so that the back suspension. (See Figure 2) The method is based on the five-point support method, to further exercise the muscles of the low back. 3. “Little swallow fly”: prone position, abdominal support, double upper limbs, double lower limbs and head as far back as possible. (See Figure 3), this method requires high strength of the low back muscles, and can be based on the above exercise of intensive exercise, usually in 5-7 days after surgery can begin to use the method. (3) The principles of lower limb and lumbar back extension exercise: 1. The functional training program after lumbar spine surgery should be tailored to the individual, and the intensity of rehabilitation training should be decided according to age, condition, mode of surgery and the physical condition and tolerance of the patient. Do not blindly pursue exercise intensity. The mode of surgery has a greater impact on the exercise content: for example, if artificial disc replacement of the lumbar spine is used, you can move around on the ground three days after surgery because the method is less destructive to the stability of the spinal structure, while fusion surgery of the lumbar spine usually takes 5-7 days to move around on the ground. 2. Any functional training should follow the principle of “step by step”, with the number of exercises increasing from small to large, the time from short to long, the intensity from weak to strong, and the number of exercises increasing gradually. Exercise should be different according to each person’s situation and different, follow the principle of gradual progress, gradually increase the number of training and the number of times to no soreness in the lumbar muscles as moderate 2-3 times a day, each time for 5-10 seconds, and then put down to rest 5-10 seconds, and then repeat the above actions, so repeatedly 5 -10 for one time. 3. After the completion of functional training, it should be moderate to have no obvious soreness in both lower limbs and lumbar muscles. The purpose of wearing a lumbar brace after surgery: 1. To maintain the normal physiological anterior convexity of the lumbar spine and increase the stability of the spine. 2. To reduce the load on the spine. 3. To prevent excessive lumbar torsion and rotation, and to speed up the fusion of bone graft.
