Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
The intervention group will receive standardized education and specific exercises while the control group will only receive standardized education. The program in both groups will last for 6 weeks with 4 evaluation timepoints (baseline, week 2, week 4 and post-intervention assessment). The primary outcomes will be walking capacity measured with the Self-Paced Walking Test and the secondary outcomes will be back and leg pain intensity, LSS-related disability, self-efficacy, level of physical activity, anxiety and depression, physical activity level, gait pattern characteristics, balance, and global perceived change.

Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
Intervention Group
Intervention group will received education and a specific rehabilitation program (exercises).
Exercises and education
Exercises: 3 training sessions per week that will last for 30 minutes. Sessions will start with 5 minutes of activation (walking on a treadmill or cycling). Then, participants will be asked to complete 5 exercises targeting lower limb strengthening (time: 18 minutes) followed by 2 exercises designed to improve balance and 3 stretching exercises for the lower limb (time: 7 minutes).
Education: Two one-on-one sessions (during week 2 and week 4 assessments) during which participants will receive information directly related to LSS and NC using illustration and videos. Participants will also be invited to ask their questions.
Control Group
Control group will received education alone.
Education alone
Education: Two one-on-one sessions (during week 2 and week 4 assessments) during which participants will receive information directly related to LSS and NC using illustration and videos. Participants will also be invited to ask their questions.
