Visually assessed severity of lumbar spinal canal stenosis is paradoxically associated with leg pain and objective walking ability

BMC Musculoskeletal Disorders, 2014
BackgroundLumbar spinal stenosis (LSS) is the common term used to describe patients with symptoms related to the anatomical reduction of the lumbar spinal canal size. However, some subjects may have a markedly narrowed canal without any symptoms.

Three-dimensional simulation of the lumbar spine under lumbar spinal stenosis with different sizes of spinal canal

Partial Differential Equations in Applied Mathematics
In this paper, we investigate the effect of body weight on the lumbar spine with different spinal canal sizes when humans bend down by using the finite element method. Lumbar spinal stenosis is the narrowing of the spinal canal.

Multiple steps characterise ventricular layer attrition to form the ependymal cell lining of the adult mouse spinal cord central canal [PDF]

, 2020
The ventricular layer of the spinal cord is remodelled during embryonic development and ultimately forms the ependymal cell lining of the adult central canal, which retains neural stem cell potential.
