What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now This study
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled
Cancelled before anyone took part.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.
Approved
The treatment has been approved, so it is available normally rather than through this programme.

When the status isn't known

Details not published
The full record has not been published yet, so there is little to show here.
Status unknown
This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.

Summary

This study is testing a new way to measure balance in adults with spinal deformity (like scoliosis). Researchers will use a 'functional reach test' where participants reach forward and sideways while wearing motion sensors. The goal is to give surgeons better information about balance limits during daily activities. The study includes 30 people — some with spinal deformity and some healthy — to compare results.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

What this could lead to
If successful, this could give surgeons a better tool to assess balance limits in daily life, potentially improving surgical planning for spinal deformity patients.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage observational study (30 participants) focused on measurement, not treatment. The new test may not prove useful or may not translate to better surgical outcomes.

Who can take part

This study's own entry requirements. Only the study team can say for certain whether you qualify.

Who is studied

The adult spinal deformity (ASD) group will consist of adults with a diagnosis of scoliosis who are eligible for spinal deformity correcting surgery at the University of Kansas Medical Center. The asymptomatic control group will consist of adults who do not have any spinal diagnoses, have not have prior spinal fusions, and do not have any other conditions that affect their ability to perform the study activities.

Ages

18 years and older

Sex

Anyone

Healthy volunteers

Accepted

You do not need to have the condition being studied to take part.

Adult Spinal Deformity Patient Inclusion Criteria: * Adults over the age of 18 * Diagnosed with adult spinal deformity according to the SRS-Schwab Adult Spinal Deformity Classification System * Indicated for deformity corrective surgery including multilevel spinal fusion of three or more levels * Lowest instrumented level includes S1 or pelvic fixation * Able to perform functional activities without the use of any assistance or support * devices Adult Spinal Deformity Patient Exclusion Criteria: * Indicated for spinal fusion due to spinal tumor, trauma, or infection * ASD patients who do not plan to be available for all follow-up evaluations at our institution * Pregnancy during any time point within the participation duration Asymptomatic Control Participant Inclusion Criteria: * Adults over the age of 18 * No current or prior spine pathology or surgery * Able to perform the functional activities without the use of any assistance or support devices Asymptomatic Control Participant Exclusion Criteria: * Any current or prior spine or lower extremity pathology or surgery that impacts the subject's ability to perform the functional activities * Pregnancy at the time of the evaluation
