Three-dimensional gait quantitative analysis in postoperative rehabilitation of lumbar degenerative diseases: a self-controlled before-after study.
Article in American journal of translational research, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 papers.
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
objectiveTo evaluate the efficacy of three-dimensional (3-D) gait quantitative analysis in the surgical treatment and postoperative rehabilitation in patients with lumbar degenerative diseases.
methodsThis is a prospective study with self-controll before -after. A total of 48 patients with lumbar degenerative diseases and treated in our hospital were enrolled in the observation group, 40 healthy individuals were included in the control group. Gait analysis was carried out with 3-D motion acquisition and analysis system. The 3-D gait quantitative parameters of the two groups were compared preoperatively. These include time-distance parameters (gait speed, stride frequency, stride length, support phase), hip joint flexion angle and gait deviation index (GDI). The 3-D gait quantitative parameters in the observation group were analyzed post operation and during rehabilitation. Pearson correlation coefficient was used to evaluate the correlation between 3-D gait quantitative parameters and the patient's visual analog score (VAS), Japanese Orthopedic Association (JOA) score and Oswestry Disability Index (ODI).
resultsCompared with the healthy group, the time-distance parameters and the kinematics parameters of lower extremity joints in the observation group were significantly decreased (both P<0.001). The gait index indicated that there were significant gait abnormalities in the observation group (P<0.001). Two weeks after operation, the patient's VAS score, JOA score and ODI were significantly improved compared to the results preoperatively, as well as the 3-D gait quantitative parameters (all P<0.05). Further improvement was then observed after 12 weeks of rehabilitation training (all P<0.05), and the patient's gait was close to normal. Pearson correlation analysis showed that the improvement of the 3-D gait quantitative parameters positively correlated with VAS score, JOA score and ODI (all P<0.001).
conclusionThe 3-D gait quantitative analysis can effectively evaluate the effect of operation and rehabilitation training.
