NCT ID NCT02320097
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study looked at how moving your head backward or turning it side to side changes the pressure under your feet while standing. Researchers measured foot pressure in 87 healthy adults aged 18 to 30 using a special platform. The goal was to understand the link between head alignment and balance, which may help in designing better treatments for posture-related issues.
