Non-contact tracking of shoulder bones using ultrasound and stereophotogrammetry.

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
Purpose: We explored the integration of 3D ultrasound (US) imaging with motion capture technology for non-invasively tracking bones of the shoulder district during normal activity. Our study aimed to demonstrate Method: We registered previously acquired full bone shapes to spatially small bony surface patches segmented from 3D US. The bone registration approach used was based on Results: CPD provided the highest accuracy in the simulation at the cost of 8x longer computation compared to ICP. The RMSE errors were <1 mm for the humerus and scapula at all elevations. Conclusion: In summary, we demonstrated the feasibility and accuracy of tracking shoulder bones with 3D US in a simulation and a cadaveric experiment. We discovered that CPD may be a more suitable registration method for the task than ICP. We also discussed that 3D US with motion capture technology is very promising for dynamic bone tracking, but the US technology may not be ready for the task yet.
