Testing body movement and physical capacity in scoliosis adults
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
This study checks how well people can move and perform physical tasks if they have scoliosis (an uneven spine), or if they’re a healthy comparison group. It may help researchers better understand how body structure and function are affected by different types of scoliosis.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You can join one of these groups: idiopathic scoliosis, degenerative scoliosis, or a matched healthy control
- Your scoliosis diagnosis must be the right type (idiopathic or degenerative) with curve size over 10 degrees
- You must meet the age rules (18+ for idiopathic and healthy; 45+ for degenerative)
- You must be able to speak English well enough to complete questionnaires and exams
- You should not have had spine surgery, major spine/torso or leg problems, or recent surgery/trauma
- You cannot be pregnant, or have given birth in the last 0–2 years

This study looks at how a specific exercise program affects posture and quality of life in teenagers with scoliosis (a curved spine). It compares results to teens without scoliosis to see if the exercises help.
This study looks at how children’s activity levels and muscle performance change in different scoliosis treatments (surgery, bracing, or healthy peers). It uses motion sensors and an ultrasound-based test to better understand what treatments may do to the body’s muscles.
This study follows adolescents with idiopathic scoliosis to see how well a new predictive model estimates whether the spinal curve will get worse over time. It may help doctors plan monitoring and treatment more accurately for young people with scoliosis.
This study looks at how the type of spine curve affects breathing strength, daily function, and quality of life in teens with scoliosis, and compares them to teens without scoliosis. The results may help guide treatment.
This study is testing a Turkish questionnaire that measures how scoliosis affects your daily life and well-being. By answering the questions, you help doctors use a reliable tool to better support teens with scoliosis.
This study looks at how the muscles along the spine work in teenagers with scoliosis. It uses special tests to measure muscle activity and spine shape, and may help understand how scoliosis affects back muscles.
