Can a wearable muscle sensor replace X-Rays for scoliosis?

This trial is testing a new wireless, non-invasive device that measures muscle activity on the back to monitor scoliosis in adolescents. The device uses skin electrodes to detect imbalances in muscle activation on each side of the spine during sitting and movement. The goal is to see if these muscle patterns can serve as an objective indicator of how well treatment is working, potentially reducing the need for repeated X-rays. The study involves 100 teens with mild scoliosis and will track changes over the course of physiotherapy.
