Summary

Degenerative lumbar spine disease (DLSD) is common in elderly individuals and can result in pain, muscle weakness, and paresthesia. Numerous studies have reported that patients with DLSD usually have postural balance instability, which may affect the patient's gait, functional activities, and quality of life. The investigators propose to achieve the following aims: (1) to develop a clinical balance diagnostic tool to identify patients with DLSD who may require lumbar surgery (2) to investigate the effects of virtual reality skateboard exercise training on gait and balance in patients with DLSD, as well as to compare them with asymptomatic participants.

Conditions

  • Degenerative Lumbar Spinal Stenosis
  • Degenerative Disc Disease
  • Degenerative Spondylolisthesis
  • Degenerative Intervertebral Discs

Interventions

OTHER

VR skateboarding training

The virtual reality skateboard training (VR-skate) is used treadmill-based training. Virtual reality system is integrated into the split-belt treadmill for VR-skate. Participants slide the swing leg (sliding leg) along with the moving treadmill belt at a comfortable speed (same as walking speed).
