RTLS sensors embedded in wristbands continuously recorded patient mobility during postoperative days (PODs) 1\u20134. Primary RTLS-derived outcomes included total walking distance, mean walking speed, and active movement ratios (top 20% and top 50%). Between-group comparisons were performed using nonparametric tests. Propensity score matching and multivariable median quantile regression adjusting for age, American Society of Anesthesiologists physical status, and preoperative mobility were conducted.Results: RTLS identified differences in early postoperative activity patterns between surgical approaches. In adjusted analyses, activity-intensity\u2013based metrics, particularly the top 20% activity ratio, remained significantly higher in the biportal endoscopic decompression group across multiple PODs. Subgroup analyses demonstrated minimal differences after single-level decompression, whereas activity-based differences were more frequently observed in multilevel procedures.Conclusion: RTLS-based continuous monitoring detected differences in early postoperative activity patterns following lumbar decompression. These findings support the role of RTLS as an objective tool for assessing early functional recovery in spine surgery.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.14245\/ns.26520018.0009","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,4,29]],"date-time":"2026-04-29T00:07:03Z","timestamp":1777421223000},"page":"459-472","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.14245\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Real-Time
