Summary

This study looked at 50 people with lumbar spinal stenosis to see if simple decompression surgery or a more complex fusion surgery leads to better outcomes. Researchers measured pain, disability, quality of life, and movement using questionnaires and wearable sensors. The goal was to find which patients benefit most from each approach.
