Radar walking test for early scoliosis detection
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
This study uses a special radar device to look at how you walk and checks for early signs of scoliosis (a curved spine). It's a simple, non-invasive test that may help detect scoliosis sooner.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Age between 2 and 75 years old
- You or your child has suspected or known scoliosis and are being seen at a pediatric orthopedics clinic
- Can walk at least 7 meters (about 23 feet) without any help or assistive devices
- A parent or guardian must give written permission, and the participant must also agree to take part

This study follows adolescents with idiopathic scoliosis to see how well a new predictive model estimates whether the spinal curve will get worse over time. It may help doctors plan monitoring and treatment more accurately for young people with scoliosis.
This study uses high-resolution MRI to look at back muscles in children with scoliosis (a curved spine). It may help doctors understand muscle differences between types of scoliosis.
This study looks at how the brain senses the body in space for teens with scoliosis (a curved spine). By understanding this, doctors hope to improve treatments. To join, you must be having spine surgery for scoliosis and be able to have a brain MRI.
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 how children’s activity levels and muscle performance change in different scoliosis treatments (surgery, bracing, or healthy peers). It uses motion sensors and an ultrasound-based test to better understand what treatments may do to the body’s muscles.
This trial tests whether a posture-correction “girdle” brace can help adolescents with early scoliosis. If you have a small curve and haven’t started treatment yet, it may help slow or improve the curve while you follow the brace plan.
