NCT ID NCT06416592
First seen Jul 01, 2026 · Last updated Jul 01, 2026
Summary
This study investigates whether a portable, affordable hand dynamometer can reliably measure trunk muscle strength in adolescents with idiopathic scoliosis. Researchers will test the device on 41 teens aged 10-18, comparing results between two evaluators and across two sessions one week apart. If proven reliable, this tool could offer a practical way for clinicians to monitor muscle changes in scoliosis patients.
