First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study looked at 72 people with lumbar stenosis who had decompression surgery to relieve leg and back pain. Researchers wanted to see if the surgery also improved their posture, specifically a forward-leaning stance. They used special X-ray imaging to measure changes in spine alignment and compared them to symptom reports. The goal was to learn more about how surgery affects both pain and posture.
