First seen May 14, 2026 ยท Last updated May 14, 2026

Summary

This study explores whether walking on a pressure mat can help detect adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (curved spine) earlier. Researchers will collect foot pressure data from 500 teens aged 10-18, both with and without scoliosis, and use machine learning to find patterns. The goal is to create a simple, non-invasive screening tool that could lead to earlier treatment.
