FO (pilot flying) was executing the visual approach with the autopilot engaged and intercepted the localizer while slowing the aircraft down to flap extension speed with flight spoilers deployed. Although the approach was armed; the glideslope did not capture; which took both of our focus off the flight spoilers being deployed. FO then disconnected the autopilot and hand flew the approach in order to recapture the glide slope; as he was high on the approach. While configuring for the approach; the FO increased power to maintain proper approach speed. Once the FO called for flaps 45/landing check; he increased power again at the same time receiving a stick shaker for approximately two seconds and immediately lowered the nose to avoid the stall. It was at this time we both noticed the flight spoilers were deployed and I immediately retracted the spoilers. The FO continued to fly the approach in the proper configuration and was stable at 500 feet and landed safely.With the autopilot engaged and approach mode armed; both the FO and I were distracted with the glide slope not capturing. This led to our inadvertent oversight of the spoiler being deployed; leading to stick shaker on the approach. I have spoken to other pilots concerning this situation and this type of incident has happened on more than one occasion; with the aircraft not providing any kind of flight spoiler deployed warning prior to stick shaker. Recommend that 'Spoilers Retracted' be added to the Landing checklist in order to avoid this type of situation in the future.
CRJ-200 Captain reported that the First Officer left the spoilers extended during approach and both crew members became distracted after the glideslope failed to capture. While troubleshooting the glideslope issue; the stall warning activated when flaps 45 were selected.
