Patients With Lumbar Spinal Stenosis With Balance Disorder

NCT06079580 | Completed

Brief Summary

It is seen that patients with Lumbar Spinal Stenosis often experience balance problems. Although the relationship between muscle thickness and balance has been explained, there are insufficient studies investigating the relationship between balance problems and muscle thickness in patients with LSS. In addition, no study has been found comparing the difference in muscle thickness and cross-sectional area in LSS patients with poor and normal balance. In addition, in LSS, pain, disability and fear of falling in balance disorders are nor clear. The aim of our study is to examine the relationship between balance and biopsychosocial factors that can affect it.

Conditions

Lumbar Spinal Stenosis

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Static balance

  The static balance of the patients will be evaluated with the 'Single Leg Standing Balance Test'.

  First Day

Secondary Outcomes (6)

• Dynamic balance

  First day

• Pain Severity

  First day

• Disability

  First day

• Faling

  First day

• Muscle thickness

  First day

Study Arms (2)

Patients with Lumbar spinal stenosis with balance disorders

According to the single-leg balance test, patients who maintain static balance for less than 10 seconds will be grouped as having impaired balance.

Patients with Lumbar spinal stenosis with normal balance

According to the single-leg balance test, patients who maintain their static balance for more than 10 seconds will be grouped as having normal balance.
