Challenges and advances in the use of wearable sensors for lower extremity biomechanics.
Article in Journal of biomechanics, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 26 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
The use of wearable sensors for the collection of lower extremity biomechanical data is increasing in popularity, in part due to the ease of collecting data and the ability to capture movement outside of traditional biomechanics laboratories. Consequently, an increasing number of researchers are facing the challenges that come with utilizing the data captured by wearable sensors. These challenges include identifying/calculating meaningful measures from unfamiliar data types (measures of acceleration and angular velocity instead of positions and joint angles), defining sensor-to-segment alignments for calculating traditional biomechanics metrics, using reduced sensor sets and machine learning to predict unmeasured signals, making decisions about when and how to make algorithms freely available, and developing or replicating methods to perform basic processing tasks such as recognizing activities of interest or identifying gait events. In this perspective article, we present our own approaches to common challenges in lower extremity biomechanics research using wearable sensors and share our perspectives on approaching several of these challenges. We present these perspectives with examples that come mostly from gait research, but many of the concepts also apply to other contexts where researchers may use wearable sensors. Our goal is to introduce common challenges to new users of wearable sensors, and to promote dialogue amongst experienced users towards best practices.
