Hi
This is incompelete history of the patient .
Spinal mobility and rehab totally depends on surgeon,s opinion wheather he needs extrenal sport like plaster jacket or not
Aftrer spinal fixation , pt has to mobilzed as soon as possible and lower limb strengthening exercises and non-weight bearing on effected limb
