Method for Using IMU-Based Experimental Motion Data in BVH Format for Musculoskeletal Simulations via OpenSim.
Article in Sensors (Basel, Switzerland), 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Biomechanical simulation allows for in silico estimations of biomechanical parameters such as muscle, joint and ligament forces. Experimental kinematic measurements are a prerequisite for musculoskeletal simulations using the inverse kinematics approach. Marker-based optical motion capture systems are frequently used to collect this motion data. As an alternative, IMU-based motion capture systems can be used. These systems allow flexible motion collection without nearly any restriction regarding the environment. However, one limitation with these systems is that there is no universal way to transfer IMU data from arbitrary full-body IMU measurement systems into musculoskeletal simulation software such as OpenSim. Thus, the objective of this study was to enable the transfer of collected motion data, stored as a BVH file, to OpenSim 4.4 to visualize and analyse the motion using musculoskeletal models. By using the concept of virtual markers, the motion saved in the BVH file is transferred to a musculoskeletal model. An experimental study with three participants was conducted to verify our method's performance. Results show that the present method is capable of (1) transferring body dimensions saved in the BVH file to a generic musculoskeletal model and (2) correctly transferring the motion data saved in the BVH file to a musculoskeletal model in OpenSim 4.4.
