1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

backgroundBending the trunk forward and backward while standing are common daily activities and can have various patterns. However, any dysfunction in these movements can considerably affect daily living activities. Consequently, a comprehensive evaluation of spinal motion during these activities and precise identification of any movement abnormalities are important to facilitate an effective rehabilitation. In recent years, with the development of measurement technology, the evaluation of movement patterns using an inertial motion capture system (motion sensor) has become easy. However, the accuracy of estimated angular information obtained via motion sensor measurements can be affected by angular velocity. This study aimed to compare the validity of estimated angular information obtained by assessing standing trunk forward and backward bending at different movement speeds using a motion sensor with a three-dimensional motion analysis system.

methodsThe current study included 12 healthy older men. A three-dimensional motion analysis system and a motion sensor were used for measurement. The participants performed standing trunk forward and backward bending at comfortable and maximum speeds, and five sensors were attached to their spine. Statistical analysis was performed using the paired t-test, intraclass correlation coefficient, mean absolute error, and multiple correlation coefficient.

resultsResults showed that the estimated angular information obtained using each motion sensor was not affected by angular velocity and had a high validity.

conclusionsTherefore, the angular velocity in this study can be applied clinically for an objective evaluation in rehabilitation.
