The main objective of the study is to compare the efficacy on back-specific activity limitations at 4 months after-randomisation of home-based cycling using connected ergometric bicycles associated with usual care to usual care.
Lumbar spinal stenosis is a prevalent and disabling condition in elderly people. Lumbar spinal stenosis results in back and leg pain when standing and walking (radicular claudication), while symptoms regress in sitting position. The inability to stand or walk significantly impairs functioning and health-related quality of life of elders, and has an important healthcare cost.
The 2 main treatment options for lumbar spinal stenosis are conservative or surgical treatments. Previous data suggested that laminectomy may be more effective on pain and function than conservative therapy. However, the benefit-risk balance of surgery should be carefully considered in this population with numerous co-morbidities, and evidence is inconsistent. Therefore, conservative therapy is usually the first line option. Data regarding exercise therapy are scarce. Flexion-based exercises are usually recommended. A pilot study suggested that flexion-based endurance training program, namely cycling, could be an effective and safe method to improve pain, function and health-related quality of life in elderly people with chronic lumbar pain. However, barriers to adhering to the program were detected and might have influenced clinical endpoints. Non-pharmacological interventions in spinal conditions are not 'one-size-fits-all' and measures to enhance adherence have to be applied.
The hypothesis is that home-based cycling using connected ergometric bicycles associated with usual care could be more effective than usual care in reducing back-specific activity limitations at 4 months in people with lumbar spinal stenosis.
