The aim of this study is to determine the effectiveness of a 6-week specific rehabilitation program combining education and exercises on walking capacity in patients with LSS causing NC.
The intervention group will receive standardized education and specific exercises while the control group will only receive standardized education. The program in both groups will last for 6 weeks with 4 evaluation timepoints (baseline, week 2, week 4 and post-intervention assessment). The primary outcomes will be walking capacity measured with the Self-Paced Walking Test and the secondary outcomes will be back and leg pain intensity, LSS-related disability, self-efficacy, level of physical activity, anxiety and depression, physical activity level, gait pattern characteristics, balance, and global perceived change.

| Label | Type | Description | Intervention Names |
|---|---|---|---|
| Intervention Group | Experimental | Intervention group will received education and a specific rehabilitation program (exercises). |
|
| Control Group | Other | Control group will received education alone. |

| Name | Type | Description | Arm Group Labels | Other Names |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Exercises and education | Other | Exercises: 3 training sessions per week that will last for 30 minutes. Sessions will start with 5 minutes of activation (walking on a treadmill or cycling). Then, participants will be asked to complete 5 exercises targeting lower limb strengthening (time: 18 minutes) followed by 2 exercises designed to improve balance and 3 stretching exercises for the lower limb (time: 7 minutes). Education: Two one-on-one sessions (during week 2 and week 4 assessments) during which participants will receive information directly related to LSS and NC using illustration and videos. Participants will also be invited to ask their questions. |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Change from baseline in walking capacity | Walking capacity measure with the Self-Paced Walking Test (time) | Baseline, week 2, week 4, week 6, week 12 |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Change from baseline in leg and back pain intensity | Leg and back pain intensity will be independently assessed using a 11-point numerical rating scale (from 0 to 10 points). Higher score indicates higher pain. | Baseline, week 2, week 4, week 6, week 12 |
| Change from baseline in lumbar spinal stenosis related disabiltity |

Lumbar spinal stenosis related disability is measured with the French-Canadian version of the Swiss Spinal Stenosis Questionnaire. Pain, function and satisfaction related to lumbar spinal stenosis. Pain subscale score range from 7 to 35 with higher values indicate a worst outcome, Function subscale score range from 5 to 20 with higher values indicate a worst outcome, Satisfaction subscale score range from 6 to 24 with higher values indicate a worst outcome. The total score is composed of the three subscales and range from 18 to 79. |
| Baseline, week 6, week 12 |
| Changes from baseline in self-efficacy | Measured with Self-efficacy measured with the French-Canadian Chronic Pain Self-Efficacy Scale. Each question is rated on a numerical scale (from 1 to 10). Total is calculated using the mean of the 33-items scores and ranges from 1 to 10 with a higher score indicate higher self-efficacy. | Baseline, week 6, week 12 |
| Change from baseline in anxiety and depression | Measured with the French-Canadian adaptation of the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale. Total score range from 0 to 21 with higher score indicating symptoms of anxiety and/or depression. | Baseline, week 6, week 12 |
| Change from baseline in physical activity level | Physical activity level assessed with the [Physical Activity Questionnaire for the Elderly]. The questionnaire allows to place participants into one of the 3 categories (low, moderate or high physical activity level). Physical activity level is measured in time per day. | Baseline, week 6, week 12 |
| Patient's global impression of change | Global impression of change will be measured using a 7-point scale that ranges from 'very much improved' to 'very much worse' with 'no change' as the mid-point. | changes of the global impression of change throughout the study (baseline, week 2, week 4, week 6, week 12) |
| Change from baseline in biomechanical parameters of gait | Spatio-temporal parameters of gait measured with wearable inertial sensors (velocity (m/s)) | Baseline, week 2, week 4, week 6, week 12 |
| Change from baseline in biomechanical parameters of gait | Spatio-temporal parameters of gait measured with wearable inertial sensors measured in meters (stride length, swing witdh, toe clearance) | Baseline, week 2, week 4, week 6, week 12 |
| Change from baseline in biomechanical parameters of gait | Spatio-temporal parameters of gait measured with wearable inertial sensors measured in % (walking phases, assymetry, variability) | Baseline, week 2, week 4, week 6, week 12 |
| Change from baseline in lower extremity physical function and balance | Lower extremity physical function and balance measured with the Short Physical Performance Battery. Total score ranges from 0 to 12 with higher score indicating a better lower extremity physical function and balance. | Baseline, week 6, week 12 |
