We are proud to announce Sean Rundell (P.T., D.P.T., Ph.D.) of the UW CLEAR Center has received an award from NIH/National Institute of Aging to study Lumbar Stenosis Prognostic Subgroups for Personalizing Care and Treatment (PROSPECTS). Lumbar spinal stenosis is a common cause of low back pain and its associated disability among older adults, but there is little data on prognosis to guide clinical trial design and clinical decision making. The overall objective of this project is to develop and evaluate a clinically useful predictive model of long-term function in older patients initiating non-surgical care for symptomatic lumbar spinal stenosis.
