Test-Retest Reliability of Kinematic and Temporal Outcome Measures for Clinical Gait and Stair Walking Tests, Based on Wearable Inertial Sensors.
Article in Sensors (Basel, Switzerland), 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
It is important to assess gait function in neurological disorders. A common outcome measure from clinical walking tests is average speed, which is reliable but does not capture important kinematical and temporal aspects of gait function. An extended gait analysis must be time efficient and reliable to be included in the clinical routine. The aim of this study was to add an inertial sensor system to a gait test battery and analyze the test-retest reliability of kinematic and temporal outcome measures. Measurements and analyses were performed in the hospital environment by physiotherapists using customized software. In total, 22 healthy persons performed comfortable gait, fast gait, and stair walking, with 12 inertial sensors attached to the feet, shank, thigh, pelvis, thorax, and arms. Each person participated in 2 test sessions, with about 3-6 days between the sessions. Kinematics were calculated based on a sensor fusion algorithm. Sagittal peak angles, sagittal range of motion, and stride frequency were derived. Intraclass-correlation coefficients were determined to analyze the test-retest reliability, which was good to excellent for comfortable and fast gait, with exceptions for hip, knee, and ankle peak angles during fast gait, which showed moderate reliability, and fast gait stride frequency, which showed poor reliability. In stair walking, all outcome measures except shoulder extension showed good to excellent reliability. Inertial sensors have the potential to improve the clinical evaluation of gait function in neurological patients, but this must be verified in patient groups.
