About this trial

This is an interventional treatment trial for Lumbar Spinal Stenosis focused on measuring Preoperative rehabilitation, Minimally invasive surgery, Functional capacity

Eligibility Criteria

18 Years - undefined (Adult, Older Adult)All SexesDoes not accept healthy volunteers

Inclusion Criteria:

To be affected by degenerative lumbar spinal stenosis and to be awaiting minimally invasive surgery for the lumbar spinal stenosis

Exclusion Criteria:

Non-degenerative spinal stenosis, arthritic conditions (except for facet arthrosis), impaired cognitive function, spinal instability and disagreement from the treating neurosurgeon for the patient to take part in the preadaptation programme.

5. Study Description

Brief Summary
The purpose of the present study is to evaluate the effectiveness of a prehabilitation program on the recovery of patients undergoing a minimally invasive surgery for degenerative lumbar spinal stenosis. To do so, 40 participants will be recruited and randomized into two groups; intervention or control group. Participants in the intervention group will take part in a physical training program, three times a week for six weeks before undergoing surgery. The exercise program will be supervised and will aim at improving core muscles strength and endurance as well as spine stability. It is hypothesized that the prehabilitation program will significantly improve disability and pain intensity reported by patients after surgery. Ultimately, this study aims to improve health care of patients awaiting lumbar surgery but its results may also impact the management of patients awaiting spine surgery for various conditions.
