This wasn't just like a tiny pilot study. They analyzed data from randomized controlled trial with over 215 older adults. Every single one of them had confirmed lumbar spinal stenosis on imaging and real symptomatology day in and day out. Leg pain, walking limitations, neurogenic claudication, really the whole package. The average age of the individual in this study was 72 years old. Over half were female and most had moderate symptoms and limited walking capacity at baseline.
