What is this trial about?
After recuperating from low back surgery patients often perpetuate a sedentary lifestyle because they are concerned about injury and recurrent pain. The objective of this study is to test the feasibility of a program to increase lifestyle walking starting several months after low back surgery.
What are the Participation Requirements?
* Inclusion Criteria: Patients will be eligible if they had lumbar surgery for a degenerative condition and their surgeon deems it safe for them to walk more. * Exclusion Criteria: Patients will be excluded if they had any new cardiopulmonary symptoms since surgery.
