About
Dr. Chun-Yi Xu is a clinical researcher specializing in perioperative nursing and rehabilitation following spinal surgery, with a particular focus on lumbar degenerative disease (LDD). Her most cited work, a 2021 randomized trial, pioneered a nurse-led early rehabilitation program for patients undergoing minimally invasive lumbar internal fixation. This study provided critical evidence that structured, early mobilization protocols can significantly improve functional recovery and reduce complications in this emerging surgical population. With 8 citations, this paper has become a foundational reference for integrating nursing leadership into postoperative care pathways for spinal patients. Dr. Xu’s contributions bridge the gap between surgical innovation and practical, patient-centered rehabilitation, addressing the growing need for standardized recovery protocols in minimally invasive spine surgery. Her work highlights the vital role of nursing in optimizing surgical outcomes and has influenced clinical guidelines for early mobilization. By demonstrating the safety and efficacy of nurse-directed rehabilitation, Dr. Xu has advanced both the science of perioperative care and the professional scope of nursing practice in orthopedics.
