New 3D X-Ray technique maps body alignment in posture disorders
NCT ID NCT00926432
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This completed study looked at how the skeleton is aligned with gravity in adults with postural problems. Researchers used a low-dose X-ray device called EOS to create 3D images of the spine and pelvis. The goal was to better understand the body's geometry in people with balance issues. The study involved 26 participants, including patients and healthy volunteers.
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 could help doctors better diagnose and treat postural problems by understanding how the skeleton aligns with gravity.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, observational study with only 26 participants, so findings may not apply to everyone. It does not test a treatment.
