The impact of spinal surgery on the locomotive syndrome in patients with lumbar spinal stenosis

・The Japanese Orthopaedic Association defines locomotive syndrome as patients with reduced motor function. We reported the effect of surgical treatment on clinical decision limit 3 (CDL3), which corresponds to physical frailty. ・We investigated improvement factors for locomotive syndrome CDL stage 3 in patients with lumbar spinal stenosis in a retrospective study. ・Seventy-one patients who underwent surgical treatment were included in the study. ・Factors associated with improvement in locomotive syndrome were analyzed using multivariate logistic analysis and decision tree analysis.
