Balance and walking strength testing for spinal deformity adults
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study checks balance and leg strength using simple walking and movement tests. It focuses on adults with spinal deformity and compares them to people without deformity, to better measure how well you function.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be over 18 and under 80 years old
- If you have spinal deformity: it must be confirmed on EOS imaging
- You must be able to walk on your own: at least 50 meters (deformity group) or 1000 meters (control group)
- You should not have conditions that strongly affect balance, such as stroke or inner-ear (vestibular) problems
- You must not have had spinal fusion surgery (if you’re in the spinal deformity group)
- You must not have severe leg/hip/knee/ankle joint problems that limit movement (like very severe arthritis or a big leg-length difference)

This study measures how your spine and pelvis line up in everyday standing and walking, using multiple types of measurements. It aims to better understand adult spinal deformity and how it affects body mechanics—information that may help plan future care.
This study uses special cameras to look at how your spine moves and how your posture affects your walking and daily activities. The information helps doctors better understand spinal deformities and may guide future treatment.
This study looks at how adult spinal deformity surgery affects your ability to reach forward and balance. It compares the results of surgery with healthy adults to see if the surgery helps improve everyday movements.
This study looks at how multiple sclerosis affects balance, walking patterns, and movement. Researchers will use motion analysis to understand changes, which could help improve treatments.
This study looks at how spine conditions affect the way people walk. Researchers will analyze your walking patterns to better understand spine disease and help guide future treatments.
This study uses special motion-tracking tools to measure balance and trunk control in people with first-time stroke, Parkinson’s, or multiple sclerosis. It aims to understand how these conditions affect stability, which could help tailor rehabilitation.
