Summary

Low back pain is a leading cause of medical consultations in France and in other industrialized countries. Although spinal surgery is a recognized treatment, to date, its impact has only been assessed using subjective or declarative criteria. Yet, in many orthopaedic diseases, it has been shown that the evaluation of functional capacities, including walking speed, is particularly useful to study the impact of these diseases and their treatment. To date, no study has attempted to assess the impact of spinal surgery by evaluating 1) the functional capacities of patients and 2) spatio-temporal parameters of locomotion and joint dynamics. The investigators hypothesize that spinal surgery in patients with symptomatic lumbar spinal stenosis should lead to an improvement in quantifiable locomotion parameters, and in particular walking speed. Walking speed is a quantitative measurement, which could reflect the degree of functional impairment of the patient before and after surgery.
