Overview
Brief Summary
The objective is to observe the evolution of walking parameters during the surgery process and find which of all calculated walking parameters represent the best indicators of functional disabilities and postoperative recovery for patient with lumbar spinal stenosis.

Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Change from baseline French-Canadian adaptation of Swiss Spinal Stenosis Questionnaires (FC-SSSQ)
Time Frame: Baseline, 6 weeks post-surgery, 6 months post-surgery
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.
Change from baseline Walking time
Time Frame: Baseline, 6 weeks post-surgery
Time participants take to do the walking task in seconds
Change from baseline Quality of life (EuroQol - 5D)
Time Frame: Baseline, 6 weeks post-surgery, 6 months post-surgery
Quality of life related to mobility, self-care, usual activities, pain and discomfort, anxiety and depression. Each category has a score ranging from 1 to 3 and higher values indicate a worst outcome.
Change from baseline International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ)
Time Frame: Baseline, 6 weeks post-surgery, 6 months post-surgery
physical activity habits. IPAQ score range from 1 to 3 where a score of 3 indicates a higher practice of physical activity
Change from baseline Stride length
Time Frame: Baseline, 6 weeks post-surgery
Stride Length \[m\] describes the distance between two successive footprints on the ground, from the heel of a foot to the heel of the same foot, one cycle after.
Change from baseline Gait cycle
Time Frame: Baseline, 6 weeks post-surgery
Gait cycle (% stance phase, % swing phase)
Change from baseline Walking speed
Time Frame: Baseline, 6 weeks post-surgery
the walking stride velocity (meter/second) is the mean speed of forward walking, calculated in meters per second
Secondary Outcomes
- Change from baseline Swing Width(Baseline, 6 weeks post-surgery)
- Change from baseline Minimal To Clearance(Baseline, 6 weeks post-surgery)
