Second: after full bed rest, under the protection of appropriate brace, do light activities on the ground, such as going to the toilet or sitting up to eat, etc.; if bone graft is performed during the operation, it is recommended not to go to the ground or sit up too much, but to rest in bed. In the recovery period, the patients should gradually strengthen the exercise of the muscle strength of the waist and back, and pay attention to correct the bad posture. In the exercise, the forward bending and rotation of the spine should be avoided. The exercise time can gradually start from 6-8 weeks.
