How Foot Pressure Patterns Help Detect Scoliosis
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
This study measures the pressure your feet put on the ground to see if it can help detect scoliosis (a curved spine). Researchers will compare measurements from teens with and without scoliosis to understand how spine curvature affects how you stand and walk.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 10 and 18 years old
- You can stand and walk comfortably without significant pain
- You don't have recent foot injuries, wounds, or infections
- You have either been diagnosed with adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) by a doctor, or you have a healthy spine with no scoliosis history
- Your parent or guardian can give permission, and you can follow instructions during the study
- You don't have uncontrolled medical conditions like heart or blood-sugar disorders that would make standing difficult

This study looks at how proteins in the blood may help us understand why teenagers develop scoliosis (a sideways curve in the spine). If you have mild to moderate scoliosis and are getting care at Children's Hospital Colorado, you may be able to join this study to help researchers learn more about the condition.
This study looks at how well teenagers with a type of scoliosis (a sideways curve in the spine) sleep compared to teens without it. If you join, you'll answer questions about your sleep, which may help doctors better understand and support teens with this condition.
This study looks at how wearing a back brace affects shoulder position, arm awareness, and arm function in teenagers with scoliosis. It aims to understand these changes better to improve care.
This trial tests a dynamic pressure monitoring system that tracks how a brace is applying pressure during treatment for adolescent idiopathic scoliosis. It may help doctors better adjust brace therapy to improve outcomes and comfort.
This trial tests whether an artificial intelligence system can help teenagers with scoliosis improve their posture by providing real-time feedback. It is designed for teens aged 10–18 with mild to moderate curves.
This study tests a new 3D imaging method to assess scoliosis by comparing back height difference and trunk rotation angle. It aims to find a simpler way to measure spinal curves in teenagers with adolescent idiopathic scoliosis.
