Summary

This study is to quantify changes in muscle activity and pelvic stability during prolonged walking in patients with symptomatic lumbar spinal stenosis (sLSS) and healthy control subjects and to determine their association with the severity of the stenosis and the crosssectional area and fatty atrophy of lumbo-pelvic-hip muscles.

Conditions

• Symptomatic Lumbar Spinal Stenosis
• Lumbar Spinal Stenosis

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
OTHER	Oswestry Disability Index (ODI) questionnaire	Participant's level of low back pain and the extent to which the pain impacts his/ her daily life activities and social life are estimated with the standardized Oswestry Disability Index questionnaire
DIAGNOSTIC_TEST	self-paced walking test (SPWT)	walking back and forth at a self-selected pace along a hallway at the University Hospital until the onset of claudication, pain or until reaching the time limit of 30 minutes. Kinematic and electromyographic (EMG) data will be recorded every 3 minutes.
