Examining the Association Between Self-Reported Estimates of Function and Objective Measures of Gait and Physical Capacity in Lumbar Stenosis.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

To evaluate the association of self-reported physical function with subjective and objective measures as well as temporospatial gait features in lumbar spinal stenosis (LSS).

Design

Cross-sectional pilot study.

Setting

Outpatient multispecialty clinic.

Participants

Participants with LSS and matched controls without LSS (n=10 per group; N=20).

Interventions

Not applicable.

Main outcome measures

Self-reported physical function (36-Item Short Form Health Survey [SF-36] physical functioning domain), Oswestry Disability Index, Swiss Spinal Stenosis Questionnaire, the Neurogenic Claudication Outcome Score, and inertia measurement unit (IMU)-derived temporospatial gait features.

Results

Higher self-reported physical function scores (SF-3
