Balance and walking strength testing for spinal deformity adults
Part of Bones, joints & muscles 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)
