Area of Science:

Orthopedics
Biomedical Engineering
Rehabilitation Medicine

Background:

Patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) are valuable but have limitations in correlating with objective surgical success.
PROMs may not always align with objective clinical findings after spine surgery.

Purpose of the Study:

To review the current applications of wearable technology in spine surgery.
To explore the future potential of wearable devices in objectively measuring patient progress.

Main Methods:

Review of current literature on wearable technology in spine surgery.
Analysis of wearable device applications for physical activity and functional assessment.

Main Results:

Wearable devices (pedometers, accelerometers, cameras) show promise for objective patient monitoring post-spine surgery.
Emphasis on using wearable devices to measure physical activity and limb/spine function.

Conclusions:

Wearable technology can supplement PROMs in spine surgery for more objective outcome assessment.
Controlled studies are necessary to establish normative data for wearable device use in common spine disorders.
