Spine surgery Patients' Real-World movement under the microscope
NCT ID NCT05611775
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tracks how adults with curved spines move and stay stable before and after surgery. About 50 participants will wear motion sensors and undergo lab tests to measure walking, balance, and trunk control. The goal is to understand how surgery affects everyday function, not to test a new treatment.
