First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested whether starting gentle leg cycling in bed within 48 hours after spinal surgery is safe and doable for people with severe spinal cord injuries. Forty-five adults took part, cycling for 30 minutes daily for two weeks. Researchers checked for safety, how many sessions were completed, and compared recovery and quality of life at 6 weeks and 6 months to a similar group that did not cycle.
