Clinical Trial Summary

Lumbar spinal stenosis with neurogenic claudication is a common condition in the elderly population and is characterized by bilateral buttock, thigh, or calf discomfort and/or pain, as well as by weakness precipitated by walking and prolonged standing. Self-management options include physical therapy, which includes exercise as a core component for improving the flexibility and mobility of the spine and hips. A Williams flexion protocol has historically been used to treat low-back pain following degenerative changes to the posterior elements of the lumbar spine. However, few studies have been done to validate the efficacy of this protocol. A more focused treatment protocol may be more efficacious. Patients in this study will be randomized to receive either the generic physical therapy protocol (15 sessions) or the focused rehabilitation program (5 sessions). The sessions will take place over the course of 6 months. Outcomes will be assessed using validated questionnaires and physical function tests.
