NCT ID NCT07249541
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This completed study examined 22 adolescents with idiopathic scoliosis to see if joint hypermobility (flexibility) and foot posture are linked to the severity of their spinal curve. Researchers measured hypermobility with the Beighton Score, foot posture with the Foot Posture Index, and scoliosis severity with the Cobb angle. The goal was to understand these relationships to potentially guide future care.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
What this could lead to
If successful, this research could help clinicians better understand biomechanical factors in scoliosis and guide future preventive or therapeutic approaches.
What could go wrong
This is a small, completed observational study with only 22 participants, so findings may not apply to all adolescents with scoliosis. It does not test any treatment.
