Official title
Neural And Hip Mobilizations In Patients With Neurogenic Claudication Associated With Degenerative Lumbar Spinal Stenosis: A Case Series
Brief summary
Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.
Aging of the back is common in the older people and can result in difficulties standing and walking. Conservative treatment is recommended before considering surgery. Some recommended exercises involve the use of expensive equipment. The present study plans to evaluate if specifically moving the nerves in the legs/back and improving flexibility of the hip and back can benefit patients. These exercises require no equipment, are simple to perform, and can provide patients a way to continue to perform these exercises at home. The purposes of this study are to (1) observe the benefit of a treatment program involving moving the nerves of the leg/back, stretching the legs and low back in patients with low back pain and difficulties walking; and (2) determine if benefits received remain at a 3-month follow-up.
