Consensus on clinical outcome measures for lumbar spinal stenosis: recommendations from the ISSLS lumbar spinal stenosis taskforce
The study provides a consensus list of recommended outcome measures for clinicians assessing individuals with a clinical diagnosis of LSS. Although not a definitive core outcome set for routine practice, the list provides practical guidance for selecting appropriate measures for specific assessment domains. We anticipate that the list will be updated as technological advances improve our capacity to assess domains of individuals with LSS.
