NCT ID NCT07127250
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study looks at whether using walking sticks can help people with a forward-leaning spine (sagittal imbalance) walk longer distances. Thirty-five adults aged 50 and older who do not currently use walking sticks will test them for 3 months. Researchers will measure how far they can walk in 6 minutes and track daily steps with a pedometer.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
walking sticks
What this could lead to
If it works, this could show that simple walking sticks help people with spinal imbalance walk farther and stay active.
What could go wrong
This is a very small pilot study with only 35 people, so results may not apply to everyone. It is also not a treatment for the underlying spine condition.
