Patients with symptomatic lumbar spinal stenosis

30-meter walking task (15 meters round trip) following by a rest period of 2 minutes. Participants are invited to perform the 30-meter walking task twice. Inertial sensors are put on each participant foot.

No interventions assigned to this group

Healthy elderly

30-meter walking task (15 meters round trip) following by a rest period of 2 minutes. Participants are invited to perform the 30-meter walking task twice. Inertial sensors are put on each participant foot.
