Walking patterns may reveal best recovery signs after spine surgery
NCT ID NCT04250753
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at 20 people with lumbar spinal stenosis (a narrowing in the spine that can cause leg pain when walking) who were waiting for surgery. Researchers measured their walking patterns and asked about pain, function, and quality of life before and after the operation. The goal was to find which walking measurements best show how well patients recover after surgery.
