About this trial

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
