How spinal surgery affects balance and reach
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This trial focuses on adults with complex spinal deformities and tests how different surgical approaches fit their x-ray measurements and surgical plans. It may help doctors choose safer, better-tailored surgery for severe adult spine bending or imbalance.
This trial looks at how well minimally invasive back surgery works for adults with long-lasting spine deformities (like bending or uneven alignment). It aims to measure outcomes using questionnaires and spine X-ray measurements after treatment.
This study looks at how spine surgery affects nutrition and body composition (like bone and muscle) in young people with cerebral palsy. It aims to help understand the benefits and risks of surgery, so patients and families can make better decisions.
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.
This study looks at different types of spinal curves in adults with spinal deformity. It aims to help doctors plan the best surgery by grouping patients based on their specific spinal shape. It is not testing a new drug but rather a new way to think about and plan surgery.
This study follows adults with spinal deformity to understand how the condition and its treatments affect daily life, emotions, and physical function. It aims to improve care and support for people like you.
