Standing on a mat could reveal clues about scoliosis
NCT ID NCT07172048
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026
Summary
This study looks at 84 teens with scoliosis to see if the way they put pressure on their feet is linked to the shape of their spine curve. Participants simply stand on a pressure-sensing mat while doctors also check their spine X-rays. The goal is to better understand how scoliosis affects posture and balance, not to test any treatment.
