SPINAL STENOSIS AND WALKING

Walking is a such a day-to-day requirement. One recent study described that back and neck pain were positively and significantly associated with workplace absenteeism mostly triggered by difficulty standing, sitting, and walking.

The better the walking capacity after surgery. Lumbar spinal stenosis as a core issue for back pain reduces walking and quality of life for its sufferers. Lumbar spinal stenosis is the main signal for spinal surgery in older adults, 40% of whom, even after back surgery, still described walking disability.
