Automated, IMU-based spine angle estimation and IMU location identification for telerehabilitation.
Article in Journal of neuroengineering and rehabilitation, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers.
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
backgroundTelerehabilitation is a promising avenue for improving patient outcomes and expanding accessibility. However, there is currently no spine-related assessment for telerehabilitation that covers multiple exercises.
methodsWe propose a wearable system with two inertial measurement units (IMUs) to identify IMU locations and estimate spine angles for ten commonly prescribed spinal degeneration rehabilitation exercises (supine chin tuck head lift rotation, dead bug unilateral isometric hold, pilates saw, catcow full spine, wall angel, quadruped neck flexion/extension, adductor open book, side plank hip dip, bird dog hip spinal flexion, and windmill single leg). Twelve healthy subjects performed these spine-related exercises, and wearable IMU data were collected for spine angle estimation and IMU location identification.
resultsResults demonstrated average mean absolute spinal angle estimation errors of 2.59
conclusionThis inexpensive, convenient, and user-friendly approach to spine degeneration rehabilitation could potentially be implemented at home or provide remote assessment, offering a promising avenue to enhance patient outcomes and improve accessibility for spine-related rehabilitation.
