Quantitative Gait Analysis of Patients with Severe Symptomatic Spinal Stenosis Utilizing the Gait Profile Score: An Observational Clinical Study.

Lumbar spine stenosis (LSS) typically manifests with neurogenic claudication, altering patients' gait. The use of optoelectronic systems has allowed clinicians to perform 3D quantitative gait analysis to quantify and understand these alterations. Although several authors have presented analysis of spatiotemporal gait parameters, data concerning kinematic parameters is lacking.

Quantitative gait analysis of patients with severe sacroiliac joint dysfunction: a prospective clinical study.

Background: Sacroiliac joint (SIJ) dysfunction is a chronic painful condition responsible for up to 30% of back pain. Treatment modalities include physiotherapy, intraarticular analgesic injections, ablation techniques or SIJ fusion. The severity of SIJ dysfunction is commonly assessed via subjective pain or disability scales.
