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
