A fusion surgery with the LIV at L2 or below has a negative impact on the very early postoperative activity levels. The initial functional outcome level of AIS patients was not related to the presently collected patient characteristics. This suggests that objective activity trackers provide novel information and could have an added value in very early rehabilitation programs.
