简要总结
This study aims to improve understanding of the relationship between spinal alignment and walking and balance in people who have degenerative spinal conditions.
详细描述
This prospective cohort study will include people who are attending physiotherapy to address a degenerative spinal condition and measure them longitudinally. The investigators will measure spinal alignment, walking capacity and pattern, dynamic balance, and back muscle strength along with self-reported measures that reflect the person's functional self-efficacy, quality of life, and general health. Physical and self-reported outcome measures will be assessed at baseline before the physiotherapy-led exercise class commences, after completion at 6 weeks, and 6 months post baseline.
