Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Is there a relationship between changes in motor evoked potential latency intraoperatively and post-operative changes in walking function in patients undergoing spinal decompression.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Is there a relationship between changes in motor evoked potential latency intraoperatively and post-operative changes in walking function in patients undergoing spinal decompression. Tests will include the pre and post decompression MEP (motor evoked potential) latency and pre and post surgery walking speed and quality of life assessments.
