Spine Curve and Forward Head Posture in Teens With Scoliosis
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
This study looks at the relationship between the curve of your spine (Cobb's angle) and forward head posture in teens with scoliosis. If you join, you will have measurements taken from your X-rays and physical exam to see how these two issues are connected.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
