About this study

Official title: Assessment of Dynamic Balance in Females With Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis Compared to Normal Subjects: A Comparative Study

The purpose of this study is to assess dynamic balance in females with adolescent idiopathic scoliosis compared to normal subjects.

Read the detailed description

Adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) is one of the most common forms of scoliosis. It is a three-dimensional deformity of the spine and trunk with a lateral deviation of ≥ 10°, which can occur during the growing years from 10 years to puberty, with an apparent gender dominance rising with age and severity with a female to male ratio of 1.5:1 to 10:1.

Dynamic balance is the ability to maintain and regain the center of gravity within the base of support in response to outside perturbations or voluntary movements. It has been reported that AIS is associated with trunk imbalance and could negatively influence the sensorimotor control of posture and decrease postural balance capabilities, which increases susceptibility to injuries and impacts the individual's ability to engage in daily living activities.

Previous research reported that postural stability control in adolescents with idiopathic scoliosis is as good as in healthy individuals, and others found that AIS patients have poorer static balance control than age-matched patients without AIS. So the current study will be conducted to investigate the dynamic balance in females with adolescent idiopathic scoliosis compared to normal subjects.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Dynamic balance

    A Biodex balance system will be used for measuring the dynamic balance.

    Measured: Through study completion, an average of 7 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Idiopathic Scoliosis, run by Cairo University at 1 site in Egypt.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 5 inclusion and 5 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 23 Sep 2024. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Egypt. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Dynamic balance (time frame: Through study completion, an average of 7 months). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 23 Sep 2024.
