Teen scoliosis study aims to unlock secrets of spine movement and balance
NCT ID NCT07391488
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at how the way the lower back and pelvis move together (lumbopelvic rhythm) impacts balance, daily activities, and quality of life in 50 adolescents aged 10-18 with idiopathic scoliosis. Researchers will use motion sensors and balance platforms to measure these movements. The goal is to better understand movement patterns to guide future diagnosis and treatment.
