NCT ID NCT07309926

What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting This study
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only

Summary

This study will observe how different spinal problems—like scoliosis, stenosis, or herniated discs—change the way people walk and use their back muscles. Researchers will compare 120 older adults (age 60+) with these conditions to healthy volunteers using motion cameras and muscle sensors. The goal is to find unique walking patterns for each condition, which could lead to better physical therapy and surgical planning.
