Overview
Brief Summary
The overall objective of this randomized controlled study is to examine the preliminary efficacy of a physical activity intervention that includes wearable technology and remote physical therapist support in patients undergoing lumbar spine surgery. Patients will be randomized to receive 8 sessions of a telehealth physical activity intervention (n=30) or usual postoperative care (n=30). The Investigator's central hypothesis is that a postoperative telehealth physical activity intervention will lead to greater improvements in objective physical activity (primary outcome) and patient-reported physical function, disability, and pain (secondary outcomes) compared to usual care in patients undergoing lumbar spine surgery.

Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Mean daily post-operative physical activity as measured by an accelerometer.
Time Frame: Baseline to 12 months post-surgery
Post-operative physical activity will be calculated as the average steps/day over a period of 7 days as measured by accelerometer
Secondary Outcomes
- Leg pain as measured by the Numeric Rating Scale (NRS).(Baseline to 12 months post-surgery)
- Post-operative physical activity as measured by an accelerometer.(Baseline to 12 months post-surgery)
- Physical function as measured by the Patient Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS) - Physical Function Domain(Baseline to 12 months post-surgery)
- Back pain as measured by the Numeric Rating Scale (NRS).(Baseline to 12 months post-surgery)
- Disability as measured by the Oswestry Disability Index.(Baseline to 12 months post-surgery)
- Opioid Use as measured by patient self-report.(Baseline to 12 months post-surgery)
- Depression as measured by the Patient Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS) - Depression Domain(Baseline to 12 months post-surgery)
- Pain self-efficacy as measured by the Pain Self-Efficacy Questionnaire (PSEQ)(Baseline to 12 months post-surgery)
- Fear of movement as measured by theTampa Scale of Kinesiophobia.(Baseline to 12 months post-surgery)
