The impact of preoperative handgrip strength on postoperative outcomes following transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion
Low preoperative handgrip strength is associated with poorer functional, quality of life, and independence outcomes up to 12 months after TLIF surgery. Assessing HGS preoperatively may provide clinicians with valuable information for identifying patients at risk of suboptimal recovery. Future research could explore intervention strategies to improve preoperative muscle function and potentially enhance recovery outcomes for patients undergoing TLIF.
