One Year Longitudinal Conservative Physiotherapy in Geriatric Lumbar Spinal Stenosis – An Evidenced Research

Geriatric subjects were commonly shown to develop low back ache from multiple factors including Trauma, Falls, Degenerative changes; These can over period of time leads to restrictions of spinal, Leg mobility resulting in pain, difficulting in walking and self-care. Lumbar canal stenosis, one among the common geriatric degenerative condition limiting subjects living standard with higher rate of dependency. Complications, Cost, Comorbid conditions, Obesity, Depression, Family support can further be challenging outcome of spinal surgical management of these subjects. This research aiming to analyses the efficacy of Non-Pharmacological means using patient centric physiotherapy for an year of among subjects with Lumbar canal stenosis with mean age of 72 years (n=3). Pain and functional activities were measured using NPRS and ODI. Clinical prognosis and statistical analysis have shown greater reduction in pain and better functional activities of these subjects. Findings of this Research can be validated with larger sample, whereas lesser research conservative physiotherapy care of these subjects makes this study with a newer encouraging means.
