Who this trial is looking for
Think this trial could be right for you?
Answer a few quick questions to see if you may meet the eligibility requirements.
Develop reliable methods for functional assessment, for trunk strength, of Adult Spinal Deformity (ASD) patients and create a first clinical and normative database
1. Compare functionality of ASD and control subjects
2. Relate functionality of ASD patients to their pathology, in terms of spinal deformity and muscle condition
