  1. age is linked with higher Goutallier Classification in humans (patients with back pain symptoms).

    “increasing age was associated with increased GC, decreased PL-CSA, and CSA/BMI at all lumbar levels.”

Walking intolerability

  1. Walking intolerability predicts Goutallier Classification in humans (patients with back pain symptoms).

    “An inability to walk > 1 block predicted LIV and GC at L2/L3 while predicting CSA/BMI at L4/L5.”
