Efficacy of Surgery on Improvement of Locomotive Syndrome in Older Patients With Lumbar Spinal Stenosis: Comparison With the General Older Population

Surgery for LSS significantly improved LS, but not to the same stage as that in the healthy older group. The appropriate timing of surgery to maintain mobility and prevent LS progression was scored as 37 points on the GLFS-25.
