Scoliosis study: shoulder blade position may impact arm strength in teens

NCT ID NCT07249515

First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study looked at 20 teens with scoliosis (a curved spine) to see if the position of their shoulder blades is linked to how well they can use their arms. Researchers measured shoulder blade movement and arm power using simple tests like throwing a weighted ball. The goal is to help therapists create better exercises for teens with scoliosis.
