The effects of dynamic motion instability system training on motor function and balance after stroke: A randomized trial.
Trial report in NeuroRehabilitation, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
backgroundThe balance and postural control of humans is related to the coordination of dynamic perception and movement. Multiple senses, such as vision, vestibular sense, proprioception, and/or a single sensory disorder, would lead to its integration disorder and induce imbalance and abnormal gait.
objectiveThe present study aimed to determine the effects of dynamic motion instability system training (DMIST) on the balance and motor function of hemiplegic patients after stroke.
methodsIn this assessor-blinded, randomized controlled trial, the participants allocated to the intervention group (n = 20) received 30 minutes of conventional treatment and 20 minutes of DMIST training. Participants randomized to the control group (n = 20) received the same dose of conventional therapy and 20 minutes of general balance training. Rehabilitation was performed 5 times per week for 8 weeks. The primary outcome was the Fugl-Meyer assessment for the lower extremity (FMA-LE), and the secondary outcomes were the Berg balance scale (BBS) and gait function. Data were collected at baseline and immediately after the intervention.
resultsAfter 8 weeks (t1), both groups showed significant post-intervention improvements in BBS, FMA-LE, gait speed and stride length (P < 0.05); there were significant positive correlations between the increase in FMA-LE and gait speed and stride length. Compared with the control group, the DMIST group showed significant post-intervention improvements in FMA-LE, gait speed and stride length (P < 0.05). However, no significant differences between the groups were found over time with respect to BBS (P > 0.05). The experiences of patients with DMIST were positive, and no serious adverse events were related to the interventions.
conclusionSupervised DMIST could be highly effective in treating lower-limb motor function in patients with stroke. Frequent (weekly) and medium-term (8 weeks) dynamic motion instability-guided interventions might be highly effective in enhancing motor function, and subsequently improving gait in stroke patients.
