This trial tests whether specific three-dimensional exercises (Schroth method) can improve trunk muscle endurance, sleep quality, and quality of life in adolescents with hyperkyphosis (excessive forward curve of the upper spine). If you have a child between 12 and 18 with a Cobb angle of 45° or more in the upper back, this study may help.
This trial tests if wearing a back brace combined with exercise helps people with a specific type of low back problem called spondylolisthesis (where a spine bone slips forward). It may reduce pain and improve function.
This study tests whether wearing a back brace can improve mobility in older adults with a stooped posture (hyperkyphosis). It may help participants walk better and maintain independence.
This trial tests whether wearing a custom back brace for a few hours each day can help reduce pain from a curved spine in adults. If you're between 40 and 75 and have chronic back pain, this could be an option to consider.
This study measures how your spine and back/neck move using motion testing and equipment. It may help researchers better understand differences between people with spine pain and people without.
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.
