Effects of Gyroscope on Arm Swing and Gait in Healthy Volunteers.
Article in Applied bionics and biomechanics, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Background: Arm swing has a crucial role in gait. It is essential in terms of regulating gait parameters and balance during walking. In the case of bradykinesia, the arms act as a generator to maintain lower extremity movement while walking. The way gyroscopes work makes them useful in arm swings. In this study, the arm swing is facilitated by a new type of gyroscope. As a main purpose, a gyroscope was used to increase arm swing during pendulum exercise and walking. Methods: Thirty healthy volunteers were included in the study. The study covered three situations. The first evaluation was performed without the gyroscope. The second evaluation was performed while the gyroscope was installed but not activated. The final evaluation was made while the gyroscope was installed and powered up. The effect of the gyroscope on the arm swing was evaluated by the Dartfish®, and the gait was evaluated with the Zebris® force distribution measurement analysis system. Results: According to the results, the gyroscope increases the arm swing in the pendulum exercise ( Conclusions: The gyroscope is suitable for facilitating arm swings in healthy volunteers. This study is essential to demonstrate the effect of a gyroscope on extremity movements for the first time. In the future, a medical device that has the features of a gyroscope can be designed for its use in the treatment of Parkinson's disease and Senile Bradykinesia.
