Sensor-to-Segment Calibration Methodologies for Lower-Body Kinematic Analysis with Inertial Sensors: A Systematic Review.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Kinematic analysis is indispensable to understanding and characterizing human locomotion. Thanks to the development of inertial sensors based on microelectronics systems, human kinematic analysis in an ecological environment is made possible. An important issue in human kinematic analyses with inertial sensors is the necessity of defining the orientation of the inertial sensor coordinate system relative to its underlying segment coordinate system, which is referred to sensor-to-segment calibration. Over the last decade, we have seen an increase of proposals for this purpose. The aim of this review is to highlight the different proposals made for lower-body segments. Three different databases were screened: PubMed, Science Direct and IEEE Xplore. One reviewer performed the selection of the different studies and data extraction. Fifty-five studies were included. Four different types of calibration method could be identified in the articles: the manual, static, functional, and anatomical methods. The mathematical approach to obtain the segment axis and the calibration evaluation were extracted from the selected articles. Given the number of propositions and the diversity of references used to evaluate the methods, it is difficult today to form a conclusion about the most suitable. To conclude, comparative studies are required to validate calibration methods in different circumstances.
