Test-retest reliability and minimal detectable change for measures of wearable gait analysis system (G-Walk) in children with cerebral palsy.
Article in Turkish journal of medical sciences, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to 2 registered trials, which are not on this map. Cited by 15 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.
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.

Abstract
backgroundCerebral Palsy (CP) is the most frequent cause of physical disability in childhood. CP causes primary deficits such as impairments in muscle tone, muscle weakness, problems in selective motor control and secondary deficits such as contractures and deformities. These deficits lead to motor disorders during movement causing limitations in gait. Sixty percent of children with CP can walk independently despite these problems, however, they present with various gait abnormalities. Gait analysis is used in the quantitative assessment of gait disturbances providing functional diagnosis, assessment for treatment, planning, and monitoring of progress. G-Walk is a wearable sensor device which provides quantitative gait analysis via spatiotemporal parameters and pelvic girdle angles. In literature, there is no study investigating the reliability of the G-Walk in children with CP. The purpose of this study was to confirm the test-retest reliability of a commercially available body-worn sensor 'BTS G-WALK sensor system' for spatiotemporal gait parameters in children with CP.
methodsFifty-four children with CP (mean age: 9.19 ± 3.49 years), Gross Motor Function Classification System (GMFCS) level I-II completed the test-retest protocol with 5 days between tests. The test-retest reliability was calculated using intra-class correlation coefficients (ICC). Minimal detectable changes were calculated using standard error measurements.
resultsAccording to the analysis, ICC varied from 0.799 to 0.977 in all of the gait parameters. The statistical analysis showed that all G-Walk parameters' measurements were found to have almost perfect test-retest reliability. DISCUSSION: The G-Walk was found to be reliable in gait parameters for children with CP between ages 5 and 15, in GMFCS level I-II. A gait analysis carried out with the G-Walk system is a reliable method to assess gait in children with CP in a clinical setting.
