Balance test may forecast scoliosis worsening in young girls
NCT ID NCT02862392
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026
Summary
This study tested whether a computerized balance test can predict if adolescent scoliosis will get worse. Researchers measured postural control in 95 girls aged 11-14 with mild scoliosis. The goal is to help doctors decide early on who needs treatment like braces or therapy, avoiding unnecessary interventions for those unlikely to worsen.

What this could lead to
If successful, this could help doctors predict which scoliosis cases will worsen, allowing earlier, personalized therapy to prevent severe curvature.
What could go wrong
This is a small, completed observational study, not a treatment trial. The predictive method may not prove reliable in larger or more diverse groups.
