Article Synopsis
- The study investigates how cervical spine fusion affects the range of motion (ROM) during daily activities and its relation to quality of life as measured by patient-reported outcomes (PROs).
- Findings show that patients with multi-level cervical fusion (>3 levels) experience a significant reduction in maximum ROM across various movements compared to control participants, which also leads to difficulties in certain daily activities like driving and stairs.
- The research suggests that while maximum ROM decreases post-surgery, functional ROM during daily activities remains relatively unaffected, highlighting an increase in pain and disability scores among fusion patients.
