Differences between Systems Using Optical and Capacitive Sensors in Treadmill-Based Spatiotemporal Analysis of Level and Sloping Gait.

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
Modern technology has enabled researchers to analyze gait with great accuracy and in various conditions based on the needs of the trainees. The purpose of the study was to investigate the agreement between systems equipped with optical and capacitive sensors in the analysis of treadmill-based level and sloping gait. The spatiotemporal parameters of gait were measured in 30 healthy college-level students during barefoot walking on 0% (level), -10% and -20% (downhill) and +10% and +20% (uphill) slopes at hiking-related speeds using an optoelectric cell system and an instrumented treadmill. Inter-system agreement was assessed using the Intraclass Correlation Coefficients (ICCs) and the 95% limits of agreement. Our findings revealed excellent ICCs for the temporal and between moderate to excellent ICCs for the spatial parameters of gait. Walking downhill and on a 10% slope demonstrated better inter-system agreement compared to walking uphill and on a 20% slope. Inter-system agreement regarding the duration of gait phases was increased by increasing the number of LEDs used by the optoelectric cell system to detect the contact event. The present study suggests that systems equipped with optical and capacitive sensors can be used interchangeably in the treadmill-based spatiotemporal analysis of level and sloping gait.
