Participants voluntarily shared information from the pre-installed Apple Healthkit package, which provided baseline activity data. Daily steps and distance were tracked until a patient returned to within 90% of their pre-operative baseline for 2 consecutive days. Patient-reported outcome measure scores (PROMs) were collected at the pre-operative and subsequent follow-up visits.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>A total of 23 MIS-TLIF and 25 OF patients were enrolled. Patients undergoing MIS-TLIF had an average preoperative baseline of 3576 steps (SD 2185); these patients returned to 90% of baseline steps at an average of 10.57\u00a0days. Those undergoing OF had an average preoperative baseline of 2280 steps (SD 1295) and required 15.32\u00a0days to return to 90% of pre-operative step count. There were no significant correlations between pre-operative demographic factors or PROMs with time to return to 90% of baseline ambulation. After matched analysis was performed, the average treatment effect of MIS vs OF operation was estimated, though this was not statistically significant.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This study quantifies pre- and post-operative ambulatory function for 2 cohorts of patients undergoing lumbar surgery.
