BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Spinal canal stenosis is the most common reason for spinal surgeries in @entity1 over 65 years of age. The aim of the study was to assess static balance in @entity1 prior to and after surgical decompression of lumbar @entity612 . MATERIAL AND METHODS: The study population consisted of 30 @entity1 suffering from @entity612 . Their static balance was measured, i.e. quantitative analysis of balance reaction parameters in quiet standing was performed. RESULTS: The analysis of the collected data did not reveal any statistically significant differences between parameters measured prior to and after the surgery (for p< 0.05). A tendency for a decrease of measured parameters was observed. The regularity of changes was determined; in addition, for this analysis, the Spearman's rank correlation coefficient was used. CONCLUSIONS: The analysis of the collected data did not reveal any statistically significant improvement of balance reactions after @entity612 surgery. In spite of @entity158 reduction, there was no improvement in balance reactions, as behavioural patterns for balance reactions had been fossilised before surgery.
