Fast calibration for parameters of an inertial measurement unit fixed to a standard walker.
Article in Heliyon, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
A system consisting of an inertial measurement unit (IMU) mounted on a walker is proposed. The objective of this system is to monitor a user's walking. The relationship between the walker and the IMU, which cannot be easily measured manually, plays an important role in the system. There are various relationships because of the different types of walkers, as well as adjustments made to the height of the walker legs for comfortable usage. In this study, we propose a simple procedure for fast calibration, which consists of the attitude and the position of the IMU with respect to the walker coordinate system. The procedure includes slightly tilting the walker to the front, back, right, and left. A Kalman filter based on the inertial navigation system is used to estimate the trajectory of the IMU during tilting movements. The relationship can be calibrated using the estimated trajectory and geometric characteristics of walkers. The results of the experiments show that the proposed method achieves acceptable accuracy (97% of distance and position) and convenience.
