Performance of Sonomyographic and Electromyographic Sensing for Continuous Estimation of Joint Torque During Ambulation on Multiple Terrains.
Article in IEEE transactions on neural systems and rehabilitation engineering : a publication of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 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
Advances in powered assistive device technology, including the ability to provide net mechanical power to multiple joints within a single device, have the potential to dramatically improve the mobility and restore independence to their users. However, these devices rely on the ability of their users to continuously control multiple powered lower-limb joints simultaneously. Success of such approaches rely on robust sensing of user intent and accurate mapping to device control parameters. Here, we compare two non-invasive sensing modalities: surface electromyography and sonomyography, (i.e., ultrasound imaging of skeletal muscle), as inputs to Gaussian process regression models trained to estimate hip, knee and ankle joint moments during varying forms of ambulation. Experiments were performed with ten non-disabled individuals instrumented with surface electromyography and sonomyography sensors while completing trials of level, incline (10°) and decline (10°) walking. Results suggest sonomyography of muscles on the anterior and posterior thigh can be used to estimate hip, knee and ankle joint moments more accurately than surface electromyography. Furthermore, these results can be achieved by training Gaussian process regression models in a task-independent manner; i.e., incorporating features of level and ramp walking within the same predictive framework. These findings support the integration of sonomyographic and electromyographic sensing within powered assistive devices to continuously control joint torque.
