Foot pressure study for adolescent scoliosis detection
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
This study looks at foot pressure patterns in teenagers with and without scoliosis (a curve in the spine). It aims to find a quick, painless way to help detect scoliosis using a mat that senses foot pressure when you stand.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Aged 10 to 18 years old
- Diagnosed with adolescent scoliosis or be a healthy control without scoliosis
- Able to stand on a pressure mat for a few minutes
- Able to give consent (with parent/guardian if underage)
- No recent foot injuries, infections, or severe pain that would affect standing
- No uncontrolled medical conditions like heart or hormonal issues

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 tests a personalized health management plan for teens with mild to moderate scoliosis (spine curve less than 45 degrees). It aims to help prevent the curve from getting worse and improve treatment through a special online platform.
This study tests a new computer-based support system designed to help teenagers stay motivated and consistent with wearing their prescribed scoliosis braces. The system uses interactive tools and feedback to make brace-wearing easier and more manageable.
This study tests a type of exercise called body awareness therapy that helps you notice how your body moves and feels. It aims to improve your posture and spine movement, and may help reduce your scoliosis curve. It is for teenagers with scoliosis who have not yet had treatment.
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 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.
