NCT ID NCT04642456
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study is creating and testing new methods to measure balance and trunk strength in adults with spinal deformity. Researchers will compare 30 patients with healthy volunteers to build a first-of-its-kind database linking these measurements to spinal shape and muscle condition. The goal is to develop reliable tools for future clinical use.
