Ankle pumps
Visit here for surgeons of cervical fusion surgery at hospitals of Goa in India. Lying on your back or sitting, move your ankles up and down as far as possible without moving your legs. This helps your circulation.
Quadriceps setting exercises - Lying on your back; tighten your thigh muscle by pushing the back of your knee down on to the bed. Hold for a count of five seconds and relax.
Gluteal setting exercises - Lying on your back, squeeze your buttocks together. Hold to the count of five and relax.
Neck Collar/Brace Depending on your surgery and your doctor's orders, you may be asked to wear a soft cervical collar or a molded hard collar to stabilize your spine while the bone graft heals. The staff will teach you and your family how to correctly apply the collar/brace and how to care for it when you go home. Ask your doctor or nurse for specific instructions on when and how to wear the brace, and whether or not you can remove it to shower. At your first postoperative visit you will have an X-ray to check how your fusion is healing. If the doctor is satisfied with your progress, you can gradually wear the collar/brace less and less. Soon you won't need to wear it at all! There will be a greater push for encouraging private insurance tied to systems of accreditation for surgeons of cervical fusion surgery at hospitals of Goa in India.
