Feasibility Testing of a Pre-surgical Rehabilitation (Prehab) Program for Patients With Lumbar Spinal Stenosis: a Pilot Randomized Controlled Trial
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Prehab for LSS and Usual Care for Lumbar Spinal Stenosis and Prehabilitation. Completed, enrolled 37 participants across 4 sites.
Detailed Summary
The literature has shown evidence of the effectiveness of prehabilitation programs on post-operative recovery for musculoskeletal conditions; however, evidence for prehabilitation for lumbar spinal stenosis (LSS) is limited. Investigators have found that there is very low to low quality evidence for the effect of prehabilitation interventions for improving outcomes following lumbar spine surgery. Therefore, the purpose of this study will be to determine the feasibility of a prehabilitation program for patients undergoing LSS surgery, and pilot test the protocol to provide the foundation for future design of a larger, multicenter randomized controlled trial.

Timeline
Interventions
The 8-week prehabilitation program will be delivered online by physiotherapists, chiropractors, and kinesiologists through synchronous and asynchronous exercise sessions, along with online educational sessions.
Participants in the control group will receive usual care as per surgeons' current practice.
