NCT ID NCT06703736
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at how multiple osteochondromas (non-cancerous bone growths) affect movement and body shape in children and adults. Researchers will use wearable sensors, pressure mats, and 3D body scans to measure walking, balance, and joint motion. The goal is to find simple ways to track the disease and help decide the best time for surgery, improving patients' quality of life.
