研究概览
简要总结
The purpose of this study is to assess the course of hip weakness after LLIF or ALIF procedures. These outcomes include measures of hip strength using a dynamometer, which is a device used to measure muscle strength. While it is known that people experience temporary hip and leg weakness after an LLIF or ALIF, the exact timing of when hip and leg strength is regained after an LLIF or ALIF is not known.

主要结局
Hip flexion and knee extension strength as measured by the Lafayette Instrument Manual Muscle Testing Device (Dynamometer).
时间窗: Assessing changes in hip flexion and leg extension strength from the preoperative baseline to postoperative measurements taken at 6 weeks, 12 weeks and 6 months following lumbar fusions.
Using a Lafayette Instrument Manual Muscle Testing Device (Dynamometer), we will be measuring the force in pounds a given patient can exert upon hip flexion and knee extension at the preoperative timepoint and 6 weeks, 12 weeks and 6 months postoperatively.
