Summary

This study compares phone-based physiotherapy follow-ups to in-person visits after lumbar spine surgery. Researchers want to see if phone calls can provide the same quality of care while saving healthcare resources and reducing patient travel. 200 patients who had spine surgery at Aalborg University Hospital will take part, and their recovery and disability levels will be measured using a standard questionnaire.
