Key Points

  • The aim was to explore the feasibility and safety of early gait training post-surgery for thoracic myelopathy while measuring changes in mobility.
  • Retrospective case series analysis of patients who underwent thoracic myelopathy surgery.
  • Gait training was initiated between postoperative day 2 and 4 and completed by postoperative day 14.
  • Objective mobility measures were assessed to evaluate functional outcomes.
  • Early gait training was feasible and safe in the studied population.
  • Patients showed significant improvement in mobility measures after early initiation of gait training.

Abstract

Objectives: This study examined the feasibility, short-term safety, and changes in objective mobility measures associated with initiating gait training between postoperative day (POD) 2 and POD 4 and completing it by POD 14 following surgery for thoracic myelopathy.
