Kinetic and kinematic variables affecting trunk flexion during level walking in patients with lumbar spinal stenosis.
Lumbar spinal stenosis causes cauda equina and nerve root compression, resulting in neurological symptoms. Although trunk flexion during level walking may alleviate these symptoms by enabling spinal canal decompression, some patients do not use this strategy. We aimed to identify the kinetic and kin...
